We welcomed Indigenous youth participating in the Alberta South Outland Youth Employment Program (OYEP) program to ULethbridge this week! OYEP is a national land-based educational and experiential summer work program designed for Indigenous high school students.

This marks the third year that this partnership between ULethbridge, The Outland Youth Employment Program and Lethbridge Polytechnic has brought Southern Alberta Indigenous youth to Lethbridge. They toured both campuses, the coulees, played traditional hand games and learned all about our programs and supports.

Also attending were two recent alumni:

Soft launch your studies at ULethbridge 😎

The Early Start Experience isn’t a typical class. Students get to do activities, take tours, talk to their classmates and adjust to university life before the fall term starts. Plus, ESE is a full-credit course that students can put toward their degree.

There are still a few seats left. Applications close Aug. 1, 2026, or when all seats are filled.
