ICT is proud to serve as both a CCIB PAIR Program Cultural Awareness Trainer and a certified PAIR Program Facilitator, offering comprehensive support to organizations looking to achieve their PAIR accreditation level goals.
We provide a safe environment for learners to acquire the knowledge, skills, and understanding required to be effective in their work and day-to-day interactions with Indigenous Peoples.
