Relationships are foundational to MITT’s mission of being an industry-driven and student-centred college that advances learners of all backgrounds and identities. Our relationships with the Indigenous community are at the heart of that as we commit to providing an inclusive environment for Indigenous learners.
Our Indigenous students can access dedicated resources and participate in events that are designed to educate about Indigenous teachings and culture, promote reconciliation, and provide paths to success for Indigenous students at MITT.

Land Acknowledgment
MITT is situated on Treaty 1 land and the traditional territories of the Anishinaabe, Cree, Anisininew, Dakota, and Dene peoples, the homeland of the Red River Métis, and the ancestral lands of the Inuit. We honour the sacredness of these lands and waters and dedicate ourselves to reconciliation and partnership today and in the future.

Grow beyond the classroom
Engage with initiatives that take you out of the classroom into the community. You’ll find exciting opportunities to connect with your counterparts through a range of activities, organizations, and events.
A place where you can be you
Who you are, where you come from, and where you want to be are all valued and important.
At MITT, you’ll experience an environment where a diverse group of students all come together to share with and learn from each other. This includes specific Indigenous programming, cultural perspectives, and student supports—all of which are designed to help you to feel safe and set you up for success.
Through these intentional efforts, we can all work toward a shared, bright future for Indigenous and non-Indigenous Canadians.
