Carlton Trail College, BHP sign MOU to enhance training in mining industry
Carlton Trail College and BHP are joining forces to boost training and educational opportunities in the mining field.
Both groups have signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) to further bolster their mining training partnership with the two already working together to deliver pre-apprenticeship and related industry training.
A news release from BHP Group Limited said the program will be aligned with existing provincial curriculum such as Mining Essentials created in 2010 by the Mining Industry Human Resources Council (MiHR) and the Assembly of First Nations (AFN).
“This is a very exciting time for the province of Saskatchewan with several projects, like BHP’s Jansen potash mine driving economic growth. At Jansen alone we have 800 site-based roles,” explained BHP General Manager of Operational Readiness in the release. “The opportunity for people of all backgrounds to build a meaningful and rewarding career in the trades is immense – and access to training in local communities helps open the door.”
