Fostering our people’s independence and future through programs and services focused on further education and developing employable skills and experience.

The Department of Education and Economic Development’s (EED) responsibilities tie together two essential building blocks in Labrador Inuit’s pursuit of self-reliance and prosperity. Economic development will improve our ability to produce, use and trade goods and services on our own terms. This gives us the opportunity to generate money and create opportunities for Labrador Inuit. Education empowers individuals to pursue those opportunities by obtaining the skills and knowledge needed to pursue their chosen careers. As Nelson Mandela once said, “Education is the most powerful weapon you can use to change the world.”
