Tłı̨chǫ Equipment Ltd. has been working with the Tłı̨chǫ Government Client Services Division and Kiewit to develop an on-the-job training program, where students would gain certification in heavy equipment operations in a real-world environment.

The 5-week program, having just concluded, successfully resulted in 10 students gaining their certification while constructing a portion of the Tłı̨chǫ All Season Road between the La Martre River and Whatì. The program is a unique example of partnership between industry, the Federal Government and the Tłı̨chǫ Government that will leave a positive legacy of education and economic development in the Tłı̨chǫ region. This program was made possible by Tłı̨chǫ Government Client Services Division and the Skills and Partnership Fund provided by the Government of Canada, supported by Peter Kiewit Sons, and Tłı̨chǫ Investment Corporation.”
