Crown Career Pathways is an Indigenous internship program that has been developed in response to the Truth and Reconciliation Commissions Call to Action #92, which calls for increased employment opportunities for Indigenous peoples.
The program has been developed by Crown Investments Corporation and Saskatchewans Crown Corporations to provide a mechanism to bridge Indigenous graduates from eligible post-secondary institutes into permanent employment opportunities with the Crown sector, provincial government or the private sector in Saskatchewan. Self-declared Indigenous, First Nations, Mtis & Inuit graduates, within two years following graduation, are eligible for the program. The interns are required to have graduated from a post-secondary institute in Saskatchewan as recognized by the Government of Saskatchewan.
