Training Programs: University of Toronto Researcher

university of Toronto researcher: Lindsay Bell, a university of Toronto researcher, looked at mine training programs in the Northwest Territories. She says after being trained, few aboriginal people found jobs in the mines, according to CBC. The money will go to a group of stakeholders called the Ring of Fire Aboriginal Training Alliance, which includes Matawa First Nations, NorOnt Resources and Confederation College and The federal governments $6 million in funding to train people from Matawa First Nations in the mining sector is unlikely to improve employment prospects for aboriginal people, an Ontario researcher says. The federal government announced earlier this month that 260 people will be trained through the fund. (www.immigrantscanada.com). As reported in the news.
