Dumont Technical Institute (DTI) is the
adult education and skills training entity
of Gabriel Dumont Institute. Established in
1992, DTI provides quality education, training
opportunities, and services to Saskatchewan’s
Métis. Over the past twenty-nine years, DTI has
been successful in offering adult education and
skill training programs to Métis people across
the province. With the philosophy “Learners
Come First,” DTI has been instrumental in
helping reshape the lives of Métis individuals
and communities. DTI continues to prioritize
Adult Education, Health, Industry/Trades, and
Business training.
DTI is proud of its partnerships with various
employers that help Métis learners obtain
solid employment as well as the giant strides
it has made over the years to help meet the
needs of Métis learners through curriculum
enhancement and Métis-specific programming;
working cooperatively with other institutions
and agencies to improve Métis participation and
success in the education system; and ultimately
developing a skilled Métis workforce that will
meet local, regional, and national labour market
needs.
