Harper Government Investment Supports Skills Training
(firmenpresse) - NIPAWIN, SASKATCHEWAN -- (Marketwired) -- 03/05/15 -- Western Economic Diversification Canada
Aspiring electricians and industrial mechanics in Saskatchewan will benefit from increased training opportunities thanks to a $92,000 investment announced today by Randy Hoback, Member of Parliament for Prince Albert, on behalf of the Honourable Michelle Rempel, Minister of State for Western Economic Diversification.
With support from the Government of Canada, Cumberland College will purchase new equipment to expand their Electrical and Industrial Mechanics certificate programs. The expansion will allow the College to offer a second intake per year for both programs, resulting in an additional 36 electricians and 24 industrial mechanics entering the workforce over four years.
With Saskatchewan''s growing economy, this project will help to address the need for skilled workers. This will be accomplished by increasing training opportunities and improving access for individuals in northern Saskatchewan. Doing so is strengthening our communities and helping prepare workers for well-paying jobs that meet the needs of our economy.

"This funding from Western Economic Diversification Canada is extremely important to Cumberland College. This funding will allow Cumberland College to further expand our offerings in both Electrical and Industrial Mechanics programs, thereby helping the province to address its skills shortage.
