- Curriculum development and cultural relevancy in program delivery
- Advising prospective and current Aboriginal students
- Consulting internally with JIBC academies and divisions on Aboriginal training needs, political matters, socio-economic conditions, Aboriginal diversity and contemporary issues facing Aboriginal peoples
- Facilitating the relationship between the Institute and the Aboriginal community
- Enhancing the cultural awareness of faculty and staff at JIBC
- Working closely with the Aboriginal Education Advisory Council and senior management on indigenization.
