If you are an Aboriginal person looking for the chance to make a difference through education, consider becoming a teacher.

Confirmation of Aboriginality

The department will require you to confirm your Aboriginality as outlined in the Confirmation of Aboriginality Guideline.

The new guideline will apply to the following:

• Applicants for Aboriginal-targeted teaching scholarships
• Applicants for Aboriginal-identified positions
• New employees who wish to identify as being of Aboriginal descent
• Current employees who wish to identify as being of Aboriginal descent
• Teachers seeking approval to teach with the department who wish to identify as being of Aboriginal descent.

The new guideline does not apply to current Aboriginal-identified employees of the department.
