In addition to trade-specific training, we have supported workforce flexibility by providing over-the-shoulder mentorship for employees looking to expand into a second trade. Working directly alongside the mechanics in their day-to-day operations we coach them through real maintenance tasks, demonstrating best practices, and reinforcing safety and technical standards. This practical, on-the-job approach helps broaden their skill sets and build confidence in new competencies while continuing to perform their roles. Combined with structured theory training, we prepare participants to successfully challenge their national exams and achieve their Red Seal certification—strengthening both individual career pathways and the overall capacity of the mining operations.
