AISES + Â鶹´«Ã½
At Â鶹´«Ã½, we¡¯re always looking for ways to build stronger connections with communities, meaningful engagement with Indigenous Peoples and businesses, and deeper commitments to elevating pathways to STEM within Indigenous communities.
Elevating Indigenous Peoples and Businesses
Our partnership with AISES is one of our priorities towards supporting STEM for Indigenous Peoples and businesses in the US. We continue to grow our participation and level of support with an increasing number of our employees engaged in AISES from across the US and Canada.
In 2025, our engagement in AISES events includes attending, presenting, and/or sponsoring the Region 1, 2, 3, and 4 conferences, the Canadian National Gathering, and the National Conference (October 2025). Additionally, our team members are grateful to be included as AISES Corporate Advisory Council participants¡ªhelping on key council initiatives that will contribute to AISES¡¯s growth and mission as an organization¡ªand as active members of AISES committees and professional chapters.
We have been named a Top 50 Employer for Indigenous STEM Professionals by AISES for six years in a row (2019¨C2025) and have been recognized in its Winds of Change publication.
