OtherYukon Native Teacher Education Program (YNTEP) is a dynamic, forward-thinking degree program committed to building educational practices that support reconciliation between Indigenous and non-Indigenous Canadians. Its goal is to train our future teachers and educators to thrive in diverse, cross-cultural and rural educational environments.

This program was created in 1989, born from a vision for change outlined in the landmark document Together Today for our Children Tomorrow. It stressed that Yukon schools must teach Yukon First Nations’ history, employ culturally responsive teaching practices, and ultimately must be relevant to First Nations students by honouring and validating their rights, spirituality, language, culture, philosophy, and pedagogy.

Yukon College is committed to the values of equity, diversity and inclusion. All qualified persons are encouraged to apply; however, qualified scholars who self-identify as Yukon First Nations, other First Nations, Métis, Inuit, or other Indigenous ancestry will be given priority. While we thank all candidates for their interest, only those shortlisted will be contacted.
