Yukon Mine Training Association

The Yukon Mine Training Association (YMTA) is a link between Yukon First Nations and Yukon‘s mining and resource-related industries. We believe that our local workforce is the future of Yukon’s growing resource industries. Our central goal is the training and development of a skilled workforce made up of First Nations and Yukoners to meet the current and future needs of the mining and resource sectors.

To address the demand for labour, our commitment is:

1. to make First Nations and Yukoners aware of the value and variety of opportunity attached to working in the mining industry and resource-related sectors;
2. to coordinate, with partners, the delivery and development of effective, immediate training programs that meet the needs of industry and result in real jobs;
3. to ensure Yukoners, especially First Nations, receive the appropriate training for jobs as they become available; and
4. to establish, along with labour and industry partners, occupational standards for resource-related jobs that are key to Yukon industry.
