In September 2012, SGEI and Keewatin-Patricia District School Board partnered to deliver adult education throughout the KPDSB district. The goals of this partnership include increasing education opportunities for Indigenous and non-Indigenous learners and improving access for adult learners to learn on a full or part-time basis. 

Beginning in 2017, SGEI, Rainy River District School Board and SayITFirst have partnered to develop Anishinaabemodaa – Waking Up Ojibwe, an Anishinaabemowin language revitalization strategy that aims to help put Anishinaabemowin back into the homes of the Anishinaabe people. The Anishinaabemodaa initiative supports language revitalization through free educational resources and programming for families, learners and language instructors. 

SGEI provides its Continuing Education courses through OntarioLearn – a collection of shared online post-secondary courses. Whether you’re upgrading skills, working towards a micro credential, certificate, diploma, or degree, improving your job prospects or seeking specialized professional development, you’ll find the online courses and programs you’re looking for at OntarioLearn. 

The Elementary and Secondary Support Program (ESSP) is a partnership between SGEI and the Rainy River District School Board to support Indigenous students enrolled in RRDSB schools and to provide leadership at the provincial, system, and school levels. 

SGEI employs a number of RRDSB staff members including the Indigenous Education Leader, Indigenous Vice Principal at Fort Frances High School, Indigenous Guidance Counselors, and Early Literacy Education Assistants to support Indigenous learners. 

As of April 1, 2026, SGEI became a service provider for EmployNext’s Employment Ontario network. EmployNext powered by Serco is a centralized, government-funded employment services program in Ontario that helps job seekers find work and assists employers with recruitment. As a service provider, SGEI will support jobseekers through the Employment Empowerment Initiative, developed in partnership with the Solicitor General of Ontario (SolGen), to deliver employment services to individuals who are justice-involved. We intend to provide community-embedded employment supports and coordinated referral pathways to both jobseekers and employers across northwestern Ontario.  

SGEI delivers accredited post-secondary programming by partnering with Ontario colleges and universities, including Canadore College, Confederation College, Durham College, Sault College, and Lakehead University.
