A free course called Indigenous Canada is offered to all. Register at https://www.coursera.org/learn/indigenous-canada?action=enroll

The TRC Call to Action 57 calls upon employers to require professionals to be trained in skills for intercultural competency, conflict resolution, human rights, and anti-racism. This training does not replace the need for hiring equity for Indigenous persons. 

Professional Development and Training for Public Servants

57. We call upon federal, provincial, territorial, and municipal governments to provide education to public servants on the history of Aboriginal peoples, including the history and legacy of residential schools, the United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples, Treaties and Aboriginal rights, Indigenous law, and Aboriginal–Crown relations. This will require skills based training in intercultural competency, conflict resolution, human rights, and anti-racism.
