Stay involved year-round with like-minded peers and help pave the way for the next generation of Indigenous talent by starting an AISES Professional Chapter today!

AISES Professional Chapters make a difference by:

  • Providing support and mentorship for students in transition from student status to professional status.
  • Organizing professional development seminars and workshops to develop and enhance management, communication, and other skillsets.
  • Sharing networking resources.
