The grant will help boost TNDC’s heavy equipment program
A northwestern B.C. development company has received a grant to help continue building stronger communities in northern parts of the province.
After a successful inaugural year-one pilot, the program is moving forward with an expanded framework that will increase the skill set of Tahltan individuals. The innovative HEO program includes drivers license support, HEO mentor training and HEO development, and is intended to combine training in Tahltan Territory with on-the-job practical work experience.
“By investing in educating and empowering individuals, we can build stronger, more resilient Tahltan communities and create a brighter future for all,” she said. “Through this grant, TNDC’s HEO Program will be able to expand its reach and impact into years two and three of the program, enabling TNDC to provide vital educational support to a larger number of deserving individuals, unlocking their potential and opening doors to brighter futures.
