Kenjgewin Teg, Cambrian College, the Transport Training Centres of Canada Inc, and Whitefish River First Nation have partnered to launch a Heavy Equipment Operator Training program. The program offers operator certification training that ranges in length from two to nine weeks. Students gain hands-on experience operating a variety of heavy machinery, including backhoes, bulldozers, and excavators while learning to prioritize workplace safety. “Bringing programs directly to our communities is one way to strengthen the work and presence of Kenjgewin Teg in areas where demand for training and programs exists,” said Kenjgewin Teg President Beverley Roy. “We know that student transportation continues to remain a real challenge that needs to be addressed.”
