    Confederation College and RLIFC
  • Room and Board made available through Red Lake
    Indian Friendship Centre
  • Underground classroom on 1300 level of the
    underground
  • Fully equipped mining stope for trainees to
    practice mining techniques
  • Trained by very skilled and experienced trainers
  • Graduates receive the minimum of the Ontario
    Common Core Certificate

Other Considerations
  • Support mechanisms in place
  • Regular visits back to the Community
  • Assistance for relocation of family
  • Housing availability
  • Cultural awareness training for workforce

Status update / Where are we going from here?

    addition of another trainer and a second mining
    area for practical training

    pre-employment Electrical Apprenticeship training
    program
