Indigenomics and the future of the Indigenous workforce.
Indigenomics is modern Indigenous economic design. Canada faces a rapidly growing Indigenous population. The Indigenous workforce is one of the most untapped resources with the most potential. New opportunities are opening up in various sectors including technology, tourism, transportation. Indigenomics is igniting the 100 billion dollar Indigenous economy. The future of Canada is inexplicably tied to Indigenous economic success today.
