Engineers Geoscientists Manitoba is working to increase the number of Indigenous practitioners in engineering and geoscience.

As part of that work, we want to better understand the perspectives and experiences of Indigenous engineers and geoscientists. That includes the pathway into the profession, any educational or workplace barriers faced and advice on what changes the Association can make, working in tandem with the University of Manitoba and the Indigenous community.

To help answer some of these questions, we have engaged Probe Research Inc. - a professional research firm - to conduct a series of round-table discussions with Indigenous members as well as with engineering graduateswho did not ultimately pursue a professional designation.

These round-table sessions will each involve about seven or eight professionals. In light of the COVID-19 pandemic, they will be held via Zoom during the evening of September 15. The sessions will take about 90-minutesand will be professionally moderated by Probe Research.

If you are interested in participating, please click on the link below which will take you to a short survey that includes more details about the round-table discussions.

To thank you for your time and opinion-sharing, you will be compensated with a $100 honorarium.

Your views and experiences are vital to the success of the Association's Indigenous Professionals Initiative.
