- ILP - Indigenous Learning Pathways Program: is a new self-directed, multi-course suite of training that supports faculty and staff to meaningfully and respectfully engage with Indigenous histories, knowledges, perspectives, and realities in their role at UBC. Through a series of guided activities, reflections, and learning prompts, ILP orients learners to Indigenous focused resources already available to the UBC community, providing tips and ideas for how they can be creatively included and utilized in professional and personal development plans. The four courses included in the program are expected to take around 2 hours each to complete, for a total of 8 hours time commitment.
