The Indigenous Entrepreneurship Micro-credential (IEM) is a journey into entrepreneurship guided by the principle of Two-Eyed Seeing (Etuaptmumk). This concept, originally shared by Mi’kmaw Elder Albert Marshall, encourages us to draw on the strengths of Indigenous knowledge through one eye and Western knowledge through the other.

Through the IEM, learners explore how to build businesses that are both innovative and culturally grounded. This program goes beyond the mechanics of starting a business, it is a space to blend knowledge systems, embrace connection, and envision entrepreneurship through a lens of balance and wisdom.
