A northern job training program is gaining momentum as it works to help residents transition away from diamond mining.
The Mine Training Society’s Sustainable North: Our Workforce project – Snow, for short – was launched last year to help workers find opportunities in renewable energy and related fields.
Roughly seven months into its three-year mission, program director Steven Daniel said the program has built a team of about 11 staff members, including instructors, coordinators and administrative support.
