Yukon Mine Training Association (YMTA) launches a second year of training partnership with their delivery agent, Northern Safety Network Yukon training Heavy Equipment Safety Trainers to work in the Yukon mining industry.
Located in Whitehorse, YMTA’s objective is to work with mining companies, industry service providers, First Nation governments, Territorial and Federal governments and academic institutions to bring training and jobs together.
According to Executive Director Sheila Sergy, of Northern Safety Network Yukon (NSNY), “We’ve been very pleased with High Velocity Equipment Training’s curriculum and support especially the train-the-trainer component. High Velocity’s Train-The-Trainer program and ongoing support has allowed NSNY to deliver two successful training programs so far. Our focus is to develop capacity in the communities and support livelihood-development in a competitive market. We are committed to developing more training opportunities such as the 12-week heavy equipment program supplied by High Velocity Equipment Training.”
