Au sujet de l’entreprise: 

Teqare is an Indigenous-owned education and technology company based in Winnipeg, Manitoba. We design and deliver practical training programs that help people develop essential technology and life skills.
Our workshops cover artificial intelligence (AI), digital literacy, cyber safety, scam prevention, financial literacy and city life skills, online privacy, password security, social media safety, and responsible technology use. We also provide customized training for organizations on cybersecurity awareness, AI adoption, digital skills, and emerging technologies.
Teqare works with First Nations, Indigenous organizations, schools, community organizations, businesses, seniors' groups, and government partners to deliver training in both urban and rural communities. Our workshops are tailored to the audience and emphasize hands-on learning, real-world scenarios, and practical skills participants can apply immediately.
In addition to delivering workshops, Teqare develops educational resources, digital learning materials, and awareness campaigns that help communities stay informed about evolving technology, online threats, and emerging AI tools. Our goal is to equip individuals and organizations with the knowledge and confidence to use technology safely, responsibly, and effectively in everyday life.

Veuillez décrire le projet.: 

This project focuses on improving how Teqare builds and maintains community partnerships to support the delivery of technology education programs. As demand for our programs continues to grow, we want to better understand the needs of the communities and organizations we work with and develop more effective ways to build long-term relationships.
The student will research partnership opportunities, engage with communities and organizations, document community priorities, and identify common barriers to accessing technology education. They will also evaluate current outreach practices, compare different engagement approaches, and contribute to the development of partnership resources and processes that support future growth.
The findings from this project will be used to strengthen Teqare's partnership model, improve community engagement, and inform future program planning. The student will gain experience in community-based research, stakeholder engagement, data collection, and partnership development while contributing to practical improvements that support the organization's long-term work.
