In April 1994, the Wautebek Training Institute and Nda-Gkenjge-Gamig Educational Institute merged to create the Kenjgewin Teg Educational Institute (KTEI). Kenjgewin Teg developed Joint Management Committees with the affiliated educational institutions.[citation needed]

In January 2022, Kenjgewin Teg received accreditation from the Indigenous Advanced Education and Skills Council to offer certificates, diplomas and degrees.[2]
