Training Calendar
Welcome to the Thunderbird Partnership Foundation’s National Training Calendar. Each fiscal year, starting from April 1st and ending on March 31st, presents a unique opportunity to explore a wide range of training courses that are available each year.
Registration for Thunderbird Partnership Foundation Training
All of our virtual training opportunities are free to frontline Indigenous / First Nations wellness workers (including Indigenous and non-Indigenous persons who work directly with Indigenous communities and Peoples). Thunderbird Partnership Foundation does not provide training access for any for-profit agents or agencies including individual consultants or businesses.
We are excited to share the training opportunities that will be offered from now until the end of the 2025-2026 fiscal year (Quarter 4), as well as throughout the 2026-2027 fiscal year.
This year we’ve once again allocated weeks specifically for in-person training delivery for First Nation/Indigenous Regional entities in each of the Provinces/Territories.
