Stronger Support. Brighter Futures.
Give Indigenous youth a wider view of what comes next. IEC is a Canada-wide education navigator designed to connect pathways with culture, community and practical next steps—while students lead their own journey.
For the People Who Support Students
Help the students you support explore beyond provincial borders. IEC is designed for Indigenous youth, with First Nations, Indigenous organizations, schools and education teams supporting the journey on each student’s terms.
Make the Options Easier to Explore
Explore universities, colleges, Indigenous institutes, trades and training across Canada. Bring requirements, funding and Indigenous student supports into the conversation, alongside distance from home and what matters to each student.
Turn Conversations into Next Steps
Help students turn interests into a plan: understand requirements, explore funding and prepare for study or training. When moving is part of the path, explore the Nations, territories and Indigenous community around their destination.
Support Built on Student Choice
A student’s Compass belongs to them. Students choose what information to add and whether to share it with a parent, educator, First Nation or support person. Community sponsorship does not grant automatic access to personal information. Indigenous identity is voluntary, and all students are welcome.
Bring IEC to Your Community
Tell us about your community, the students you support and what would make their next steps easier. Contact IEC to discuss community access, sponsorship and how the platform could fit your education work.
