The province is investing $425,000 to help increase the number of aboriginal graduates in Greater Sudbury.
"This investment will help young people in our community get the skills and training they need to prepare for the high-skill jobs of the future," said Sudbury MPP Rick Bartolucci, in a release.
The funding is part of the government's Access to Opportunities strategy, which supports aboriginal students, francophone students, students with disabilities and students who are the first in their family to attend a post secondary institution. The investment will support services such as counseling, tutoring and career planning."
The funding is broken down as follows:
Cambrian College    $  75,000.
Laurentian University   $250,000.
Northern Ontario School of Medicine $100,000.
"Today's students will be the entrepreneurs, innovators and leaders of tomorrow," concluded Bartolucci.  "By investing in their knowledge and skills, we can strengthen our economy and build prosperity for all Ontario families."
