BEAHR Articulation for Post-Secondary Education
A Pathway to Earn Environmental Education Credit for BEAHR Indigenous Training Graduates
ECO Canada’s BEAHR (Building Environmental Aboriginal Human Resources) training programs are designed specifically for Indigenous learners, combining western science with Indigenous Knowledge and the participation of Elders and Traditional Knowledge (TK) holders. These culturally relevant, community-based programs provide practical, field-ready environmental skills alongside classroom theory to prepare graduates for immediate employment in local labour markets.
BEAHR programs serve as a bridge to both employment and post-secondary education. Our articulation partnerships with colleges across Canada enable BEAHR graduates to earn credit towards environmental diplomas and degrees, supporting continued education and career advancement.
These partnerships reduce barriers to educational access, empower lifelong learning, and help Indigenous learners move into advanced environmental roles—such as Land Guardians, Environmental Development Officers, and even leaders within their communities.

We’ve Partnered with Lakeland College to Support Indigenous Learners
Mal Dissanayake, PhD, P.Eng. and Dean-School of Environmental Sciences, declared:
“I am pleased to state that last month Lakeland College entered into an agreement with ECO Canada to provide Indigenous Communities further opportunities to develop technical skills in environmental sciences and foster exciting careers through the “Building Environmental Capacity within Indigenous Communities (BEAHR)” program of ECO Canada.
Providing pathways and support for Indigenous students is an ongoing priority for Lakeland College. In this context, these graduates who successfully complete the BEAHR programs will have the opportunity to enroll in Lakeland College Diploma programs in Environmental sciences. This will create a path for the students to seek undergraduate studies through the applied degree and diploma programs offered by the environmental sciences department, if the students wish to pursue formal post-secondary education.”
