Training and education for jobs with a social justice-related component

Drawing on the leadership, unique values and diverse cultures, northern social justice training courses focus primarily on delivering one to three day training and awareness sessions on a wide variety of topics.

Training courses

Northern social justice training courses are developed by instructors from Yukon's private, public, non-government, and university sectors; and partners with other organizations. Some of our courses include, but are not limited to, informed support for Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorders (FASD), suicide intervention, trauma and vicarious trauma.

Yukon University collaborates with the Fetal Alcohol Syndrome Society Yukon (FASSY) to deliver FASD-Informed Support.

Yukon University's First Nations Initiatives Department delivers the Yukon First Nation (YFN) 101 online course and the in-person classroom course to Yukon University staff and students, governments, businesses and the public; and to deliver YFN History and Cultures to the Yukon RCMP.  

Alongside the Crisis and Trauma Resource Institute (CTRI), based in Winnipeg, we offer a number of CTRI courses in the Yukon.
