YukonU receives commercial driving simulator through $700K investment

Yukon University’s Centre for Northern Innovation in Mining has received a new commercial driving simulator, thanks to a $700K investment from the Canadian Northern Economic Development Agency. Students will use this simulator to develop the necessary skills for driving commercial vehicles, such as shifting gears and double clutching. It will provide them with scenarios they would find in real life while reducing wear and tear on YukonU’s fleet. The simulator—which was commissioned in April—is one of two that are available at the centre.
