The Indigenous Leadership for Renewable Energy microcredential equips Indigenous and Non-Indigenous Canadians with essential knowledge and competencies to actively contribute to a cleaner economy and society within their workplaces and communities. Developed and facilitated in collaboration with the Mi’kmaq community in Epekwitk (Prince Edward Island), this microcredential centres Indigenous communities, voices, and leadership in the context of renewable energy initiatives.

Participants will gain a fundamental understanding of renewable energy terminology and concepts and will explore strategies to benefit from federal, provincial, and municipal opportunities.
