The federal government announced an investment of $4.5 million for the First Nations Technical Institute to expand its aerospace training programs and acquire specialized equipment. Funding will support the expansion of FNTI’s aviation programming options by establishing helicopter training curriculum.
“The First Nations Technical Institute is … helping to fill critical gaps in the aerospace and aviation ecosystem,” stated Filomena Tassi, minister responsible for the Federal Economic Development Agency for Southern Ontario. “Today’s support is an investment not only in the future of our aerospace and aviation industry, but is also helping to empower Indigenous youth to build meaningful and impactful future careers in this growing sector.”
