Building a Career in Early Childhood Education: Suchitra Yadav’s ELCC Journey

Suchitra Yadav – Early Learning and Child Care Diploma – Class of 2022

The Yellowknife Day Care Association is a busy place.

For a city in high demand for early child care, Suchitra Yadav is one worker that many residents have come to know for more than a decade as she has helped ensure the early learning environment excels. After immigrating to Canada from Nepal in 2009, Suchitra settled in Yellowknife and began working at YKDA.

“I’ve spent over 16 years working with preschool and afterschool-aged children,” Suchitra says. “I love the way children see the world. Every day is an opportunity to make a difference in their lives.”

After working nearly a decade at YKDA, however, Suchitra decided to strengthen her skills and develop new career opportunities. She enrolled in Aurora College’s Early Learning and Child Care (ELCC) program, completing her certificate in 2018 and diploma in 2022. She ended up returning to YKDA as a Program Manager at YKDA, where she oversees daily operations, supports educators, and oversees quality learning environments.

“The ELCC program gave me the confidence to grow,” she says. “I learned how children develop at every stage, and I continue to learn and evolve with them.”

For Suchitra, she found many aspects of the ELCC program impactful including the hands-on learning opportunities and strong support from instructors. A standout experience was her involvement in a playgroup association offering free sessions for children aged 0–5 in the community—an initiative that helped her apply her learning in real-world settings.

“There’s a high demand for qualified early childhood educators in the North,” she explains. “The College’s focus on Indigenous knowledge and Northern culture helps prepare educators to support children and families in meaningful ways.”

Suchitra encourages anyone considering the program to take the leap.

“Education is the most powerful toolbox. The ELCC program doesn’t just prepare you for a job—it prepares you to help shape the future.”

First Generation High School and College Graduate: Kate Wedzin’s Aurora College Journey

Kate Wedzin – University and College Access Program – Class of 2017 & Office Administration Program – Class of 2020

Kate Wedzin is a proud first-generation high school and college graduate in her family and Aurora College played a big role in making that possible.

Hailing from Behchokǫ̀, Kate first completed the University and College Access Program (UCAP) at Aurora College in 2017. With a desire to develop real-world, practical skills that could be useful in the North, she enrolled in the Office Administration Program in 2018.

Graduating in 2020, Kate says the program equipped her for the workforce.

“It gave me the foundation I needed—software skills, office management, professional communication, and ethics,” she says. “These are all things I use every day in my job.”

Now a Junior Human Resource Officer with the Government of the Northwest Territories’ Department of Finance, Kate’s daily tasks include posting jobs, scheduling and conducting interviews, processing onboarding paperwork, and maintaining accurate HR records.

“I’m learning the fundamentals of human resource management within the unique context of the GNWT,” she says.

The Office Administration program’s focus on real-world application and problem solving was especially appealing to Kate during her time of study. She found particular value in the practicum component of the course, which allowed her to gain experience directly in the field. Her placement at Aurora College’s Finance Department led to a position as an Intern-Finance Officer, and later helped her transition into her current HR role.

“The hands-on experience helped shape my career,” she admits.

Kate encourages others considering the program to take advantage of the useful skills that can be learned.  

“Engage fully with the curriculum and your instructors, and take advantage of practicum placements—they can open real doors,” she advises.

From the classroom to a meaningful government career, Kate’s journey shows the power of accessible, skill-focused education in the North.

“Aurora College helped me build a career while staying close to home. The Office Administration program is a valuable investment for anyone looking to work in a professional environment here in the NWT.”

Finding Purpose and Connection Through Care: Leah Mandeville’s PSW Journey

Leah Mandeville – Personal Support Worker Certificate – Class of 2021

When Leah Mandeville returned to school at Aurora College, she brought with her a deep sense of compassion, lived experience, and a desire to make a difference. Originally from Fort Resolution and now living in Yellowknife, Leah is Métis and a proud mother of three.

Her decision to enroll in the Personal Support Worker (PSW) program in 2020 came after a life-changing experience caring for her mother through terminal cancer.

“It was a very humbling experience,” she recalls.

“I felt honoured to help her on her journey, and I realized I wanted a career where I could truly help others.”

Through the online PSW program, Leah learned the skills she needed with strong support from instructors who brought real-world nursing experience into the classroom. “Anytime we had questions, they were there,” Leah says. The transition from virtual learning to hands-on labs and practicum placements was seamless—and meaningful.

“It didn’t feel like work. I felt like I was spending time with people I truly cared for.”

During her final clinical placement at Stanton Hospital’s Extended Care Unit, Leah built a bond with an elder who reminded her of the importance of laughter, understanding, and connection.

 “We became close,” Leah recalls. “She told me people often thought she was too serious—but I got her.”

After graduation, Leah worked full-time in extended care before choosing to pursue a Personal Trainer diploma. Her long-term goal? To combine her healthcare background with physical wellness and return to the Northwest Territories to support her community in new ways.

Leah believes Personal Support Workers are essential in the North. “We are the fabric that helps hold the healthcare system together,” she says.

“We know the land, we know the people—and that connection means everything.”

From the land to leadership: Catherine Graydon’s ENRTP journey

Catherine Graydon – Environment and Natural Resources Diploma – Class of 2015

Catherine Graydon has always felt a deep connection to the land.

Born and raised in Yellowknife, Catherine is Inuvialuit through her mother’s roots in Inuvik. Though she didn’t grow up with extensive on-the-land knowledge, she was always drawn to nature—especially during one unforgettable summer at Plummer’s Lodge on Great Bear Lake.

“I was inspired by the guides—how much they knew and how they carried themselves. I wanted to learn what they knew.”

That desire led Catherine to enrol in Aurora College’s Environment and Natural Resources Technology Diploma Program(ENRTP), which she says was a positive turning point in her life. Through small class sizes, supportive instructors, and immersive fieldwork, Catherine learned about water quality monitoring, ecology, mapping, and more.

“One highlight was summer field camp at Tsu Lake—canoe trips, fish dissection, caribou harvesting, and survival training. We laughed, learned, and created lasting connections.”

Since graduating in 2015, Catherine’s career has taken her to many places in the North. From student positions at Diavik and Ekati to becoming Lead Coordinator for Water Monitoring and Stewardship at the GNWT’s Department of Environment and Climate Change, she now supports environmental programs and collaborates with Indigenous governments across the NWT.

ENRTP didn’t just open doors, she says —it changed her life, both personally and professionally. “Before, I was juggling three jobs. ENRTP gave me the skills and confidence to build a stable career that supports my family. I can’t imagine going back.”

Anyone considering the program should just take the leap, she adds.

“The environmental field needs more Indigenous and Northern voices—people with a real connection to the land. This program helps you grow into that role.”

Xàgots’eèhk’ǫ̀ Journal call for submissions; deadline is February 1, 2024

Aurora College’s journal is looking for submissions for the Spring/Summer edition. The theme for this issue has evolved as the Northwest Territories comes to grips with the experiences of wildfire evacuations and floods over the past few years, as well as ongoing systemic inequities in our context. Originally announced as Living Well, the theme has expanded, and contributions exploring Surviving and Thriving in the North are welcomed.

A conversation about living well in the North needs to understand how Northerners have and continue to survive and build meaningful lives in the face of past, present and future crises. Whether the challenges be local, national or on a global scale, the effects are being felt in the North. Resilience provides a strength-based lens to explore ideas and knowledge about how to survive and thrive in the North, while acknowledging the challenges. In this frame, contributions that explore all aspects of what it means to live well, to survive challenges, and to thrive in the North are encouraged.

Xàgots’eèhk’ǫ̀ accepts submissions from across regions, disciplines, languages and genres. Scholars, artists, researchers, youth, community members, Elders and Knowledge Holders are invited to submit original work. This can be research papers and academic work, but can also include literature reviews, essays, photo essays, conference reports, stories, oral storytelling, creative works, interviews, biographies, art and more.

The journal utilizes a relational-review model, where the rigour of peer review is inclusive of Northern Indigenous knowledge and ways of knowing as well as scientific and academic knowledge. To do this, reviewers are experts from the academy as well as the community, and can include Elders, Traditional Knowledge Holders, artists and more, as best suits the piece being reviewed.

The Spring/Summer edition is co-edited by Dr. Jessica Dutton, Manager, Learning Health Systems, Community, Culture and Innovation with the GNWT Department of Health and Social Services and Dr. Candice Lys, Co-Founder and Executive Director of FOXY/SMASH. Dr. Dutton and Dr. Lys are both Research Associates at Aurora College.

Xàgots’eèhk’ǫ̀ is a collaborative project led by partners from Aurora College, Hotıì ts’eeda: NWT SPOR Support Unit, and Dechinta Centre for Research and Learning. Launched in November 2022, the journal brings together multiple ways of knowing to share knowledge around each issue’s theme.

Xàgots’eèhk’ǫ̀, in the Tłı̨chǫ language, translates to having a campfire. Fire is important to Northerners; a campfire is where people gather, share stories, seek warmth, cook food, and many other activities. Like a campfire, the journal is a space to exchange information and bring together voices from across the North.

For more information or to submit to the journal, please email xagotseehko@auroracollege.nt.ca or visit https://xagotseehkojournal.com.

Quotes:

“This has been a hard year for so many Northerners.  However, there are so many stories of making it through difficult times, moments of light in darkness and glimmers of hope and perseverance to share with others.  We invite Northerners to pass on knowledge and experiences of surviving and guidance for others on thriving through adversity, as we all find a way forward.”

  • Dr. Candice Lys, Research Associate, Aurora College


When we were deciding on the theme for this edition, we felt compelled to ask ‘are we living well?’ Is it reasonable to expect people to be living well in our current climate of consecutive large-scale crises? By centering the reality of survival and resilience, we hope to encourage a fulsome, honest, and hopeful discussion about living well in the North that acknowledges the challenges and celebrates the achievements of Northern people and communities.”

  • Dr. Jessica Dutton, Research Associate, Aurora College

Quick facts

  • Xàgots’eèhk’ǫ̀ Journal publishes work in any NWT official language.

Northern Nursing Research Day celebrates Aurora College student research

Northern Nursing Research Day celebrates Aurora College student research

La version française suit le texte anglais

Aurora College School of Health and Human Services students and faculty celebrated and shared their knowledge at the annual Northern Nursing Research Day, November 29. The research day is an opportunity to showcase and honour scholarship and academic work of students, faculty and invited scholars.

Hosted by Aurora College and sponsored by Hotıì ts’eeda, the event featured a total of 21 research posters – 18 literature review researches from fourth-year BSN students and three research projects led by the faculty and Aurora Research Institute.

Most of the research projects are the culmination of the fourth-year Bachelor of Science in Nursing students’ Nursing Research course. The intent of the course is to increase understanding of nursing scholarship and enhance the students’ ability to comprehend, critique and utilize nursing research. To create the final product, students developed a research question, searched and collected literature and evidence, appraised the evidence, organized their findings, and then created recommendations for the clinical, research, education, and/or policy level, applicable to a northern context.

Students from Aurora College’s health programs – Bachelor of Science in Nursing, Practical Nurse Diploma and Personal Support Worker Certificate – were in attendance to view the research and attend sessions by guest speakers. Northern health care professionals were also on hand to view the student projects.

The People’s Choice Award award was presented to Therese E. Petak-Dube: Continuous Glucose Monitoring: Impacts on Blood Sugar Control

The topics chosen for the research posters and the unique approaches taken by the students underscore the importance of developing and applying research that is for the North, by the North and with the North, to improve the quality of care and to prioritize decolonizing approaches to advance nursing knowledge. The Northern Nursing Research Day also serves as a critical platform to highlight the importance of nursing research and the contribution nursing professionals make to improving health care practice and patient care in the north.

La Journée de la recherche nordique en soins infirmiers est l’occasion d’honorer les étudiants du Collège Aurora

Les étudiants et les enseignants de l’École des services de santé et des services sociaux du Collège Aurora ont célébré et partagé leurs connaissances lors de la Journée annuelle de recherche nordique en soins infirmiers, qui a eu lieu le 29 novembre. Cette journée est l’occasion de mettre en valeur et d’honorer les travaux de recherche et les travaux universitaires des étudiants, des professeurs et des chercheurs invités.

Organisé par le Collège Aurora et commandité par Hotıì ts’eeda, l’événement a permis de présenter un total de 21 affiches de recherche, dont 18 recherches par analyse documentaire, réalisées par des étudiants en quatrième année du baccalauréat en sciences infirmière et trois projets de recherche dirigés par le corps professoral et l’Institut de recherche Aurora.

La plupart des projets de recherche sont l’aboutissement du cours de recherche en soins infirmiers des étudiants de quatrième année. L’objectif de ce cours est de mieux comprendre la recherche en soins infirmiers et d’améliorer la capacité des étudiants à comprendre, critiquer et utiliser cette recherche. Pour créer le produit final, les étudiants ont développé une question de recherche, ont examiné la documentation et les données probantes, ont évalué les données probantes, ont organisé leurs résultats et ont ensuite formulé des recommandations pour le niveau clinique, la recherche, l’éducation ou les politiques, applicables au contexte nordique.

Des étudiants des programmes de santé du Collège Aurora (baccalauréat en sciences infirmières, diplôme d’infirmier auxiliaire autorisé et certificat en services de soutien à la personne) étaient présents pour voir les travaux de recherche et assister à des séances animées par des conférenciers invités. Des professionnels de la santé du Nord étaient également présents pour voir les projets des étudiants.

Le Prix Choix du public a été décerné à Therese E. Petak-Dube pour son projet Continuous Glucose Monitoring: Impacts on Blood Sugar Control (Surveillance continue du glucose : Incidence sur le contrôle de la glycémie).

Les sujets choisis pour les affiches de recherche et les approches uniques adoptées par les étudiants soulignent l’importance de développer et d’appliquer une recherche pour le Nord, par le Nord et avec le Nord, afin d’améliorer la qualité des soins et de privilégier les approches décolonisatrices pour faire progresser les connaissances dans le domaine des soins infirmiers. La Journée de la recherche nordique en soins infirmiers sert également de plateforme essentielle pour souligner l’importance de la recherche en soins infirmiers et la contribution des professionnels des soins infirmiers à l’amélioration des soins de santé et des soins aux patients dans le Nord.
