A successful start to a regional First Nations led transmission line training program.
The first graduating class of 12 has received their Line Crew Ground Support certificate.
Three additional intakes for the course will be offered starting on August 13th and the goal is see 48-students receive training certificates.
The initiative is designed for those looking to gain direct or in-direct employment in the construction of a power transmission line in the far north.
The project will connect 17 remote communities to the provincial power grid.
51% of the project is owned by 22 First Nations.
