A selection of underground and surface miners and mineral processing operators from Teck Resources Limited has received national certification through the Canadian Mining Credentials Program, developed by the Mining Industry Human Resources Council (MiHR) and members of the mining industry, the Kootenay News Advisor reports.
This is an historic event in Canadian mining because until now, unlike the trades, skilled workers in these occupations have never before been awarded an industry-recognized credential that supports mobility and retention within the mining workforce.
