Training Institute
MFNERC’s Training Institute provides professional development and human resources development by supporting First Nations people who are interested in receiving the training required to become Educational Assistants and Special Education Assistants.

- to assist students with lessons under the direct supervision of the classroom teacher and/or resource teacher
- to monitor and report to the classroom teacher on student progress
- to assist in the preparation of learning materials and environment
- to perform other support functions as required
To date, over 250 educational assistants have graduated from the program.
