Built in collaboration with Yukon's 14 First Nations, CEES is a unique, culturally relevant program that will prepare you to effectively function in front-line education and employment support roles. You will gain the knowledge and skills required to support individuals through their education and employment pathways.
The program consists of 10, three-credit courses. The first course is offered face-to-face, while all other courses may be accessed through a combination of online and blended delivery options to allow students to access the program from their communities.
Students will build knowledge and skills to apply in practice and will develop relationships with their cohort that will enhance resources, sharing, support, and mentorship opportunities.
Most CEES courses are delivered through a blend of scheduled class times and online activities. Scheduled class times can be attended through web-conferencing software. With the proper technical equipment and set-up, these courses can be accessed from anywhere.
Dedicated instructors, the Academic Support Centre team and Campus Coordinators are available to support your distance learning success. Free tutoring and study skills, and a one-day online distance learning prep course are also available.
Yukon University recognizes that a greater understanding and awareness of Yukon First Nations history, culture and journey towards self-determination will help to build positive relationships among all Yukon citizens. As a result, you will be required to achieve core competency in knowledge of Yukon First Nations.
