Indigenous Public Management (Graduate Diploma)

This Diplôme d'études supérieures spécialisées (DESS) in Indigenous public management is a 30-credit graduate diploma offered in partnership with Université du Québec à Chicoutimi and Université du Québec en Abitibi-Témiscamingue. It targets professionals and managers who work, or aspire to work, in Indigenous public or parapublic organizations, and aims to build the management competencies these roles require. Most courses are delivered part-time, one course per session, in an intensive format of three two-day blocks at ENAP's Quebec City and Montreal campuses, and are also accessible remotely. Content draws on public administration and management principles applied specifically to Indigenous governance contexts. The DESS does not confer an academic grade; it is a professional credential for candidates with significant familiarity with Indigenous communities who are already working, or seeking to work, in management positions within Indigenous public administration.
