Description

Due to the wide variety of certifications and recertifications available in this discipline, this course is not available on a regularly scheduled basis.

Mining is a major benefactor to Saskatchewan’s economy. It is forecasted that within the next 10 years that direct, indirect and induced mining employment in the province will account for 17% of total employment or almost 1 in 5 jobs.
