M’CHIGEENG FIRST NATION, ON – On the eve of Kenjgewin Teg’s annual Employment and Training Expo event, it was fitting that a new agreement was inked today between Kenjgewin Teg and Legend Mining, a Sudbury-based mining contracting company. It was a natural and seamless discussion that first started early this summer to explore common goals to build Northern Ontario’s Indigenous workforce in the skilled trades, as it is a shared priority for both organizations.
Kenjgewin Teg has been increasing its role in skilled trades career mobilization over the past five years in its success as an approved training centre for the Canadian Welding Bureau. Now, it looks to further expand its role in the mining and resource industries as led by the needs and priorities of First Nations, by partnering together with Legend Mining Contracting, one of the leading Mining Contracting Companies in Northern Ontario. Legend Mining prides itself in exceeding industry standards and offers certain training and related services in conjunction with health and safety programs throughout Ontario and the related training Ministries.
