UWindsor students Alisha Jacobs and Loyell Bigjohn are research assistants with the Indigenous Workways project, which aims to empower Indigenous youth in their careers. The project also aims to help organizations be more inclusive of Indigenous employees by identifying and building on their positive experiences with interpersonal and organizational trust.

”Alisha and Loyell’s contributions to the project are vital as they bring knowledge, insights, and lived experiences that are directly relevant to the project and therefore help to guide project activities,” says Catherine Kwantes, co-principal investigator on the Indigenous Workways project and Cultures of Trust lead investigator.
