Overview
MiHR’s wage subsidy programs benefit youth, post-secondary students, mining workers and employers. They help recruit, retain and develop the workforce by enabling mining employers to provide work opportunities to build competency in new talent, allow workers to practice newly acquired skills on the job, and expand the skilled labour pool for industry to meet labour demands.
