Fleming College has adopted a different approach to Aboriginal-specific programming through the Aboriginal Emphasis Initiative. The Aboriginal Emphasis Initiative has recently been introduced at the college with the goal of integrating established curriculum with courses dealing with Aboriginal history, spirituality and culture. This is an inclusive approach to providing more understanding of Aboriginal people, communities and nations. Students learn the mainstream requirements for their program of choice, and in addition, gain a more in-depth understanding of Aboriginal populations. Course materials are geared towards program specific learning outcomes with emphasis on Aboriginal people, history and culture. Two Academic Schools, Law and Justice and Community Development and Health, have "Aboriginal Emphasis" streams whereby students receive diplomas with an "Aboriginal Emphasis" designation. Programs include: Police Foundations and Correctional Worker, as well as, Social Service Worker, Drug and Alcohol Counsellor, Career and Work Counsellor and Educational Assistant. Through this initiative, Aboriginal learners and other students can now benefit from gaining a deeper understanding of Aboriginal peoples and cultures.
