The Indigenous Student Navigator is the main point of contact for Indigenous students, who will provide wrap-around support within the post-secondary learning environment to enable a positive outcome and success.

In this role, you will be responsible for acting as the bridge between Indigenous students and the college support staff, maintaining up-to-date information about programs and educational services available at Northern Lights College.
