Indigenous Student Programs
Our Indigenous Summer Student Program is an important part of our commitment to Indigenous Peoples across Canada. In addition to our overall summer student program offerings, Indigenous students at ATCO are honored with a welcome ceremony led by an Elder from the community. We offer an individualized buddy program that allows Indigenous students to meet other Indigenous employees at ATCO and build relationships and their network. There are many community events throughout the summer that our Indigenous students are invited to participate and volunteer in.

"I recently wrapped up my four-month student #internship with ATCO's Business Process Systems Solutions team and wanted the chance to express my appreciation for the experience.
I had the pleasure of working closely with the team on multiple projects that both challenged and excited me. Through this experience, I learned so much about optimization, communication, and innovation and I am excited to build on the skills I developed throughout my professional journey. I would like to thank everyone I worked with for my wonderful experience, especially my leaders who gave me incredible support and confidence.
I am grateful for the many lessons I learned at ATCO and am excited to see where this experience takes me."

"As the Communications Coordinator for ATCO's Employment Equity Advisory Committee (EEAC), I was lucky enough to work with an amazing team that encouraged me to expand my skill-set, providing guidance as I developed my project management, technical writing, and copy writing skills.
I’ve learned so much this summer, and I’m excited to continue developing these skills as I enter my third year of post-secondary."
