SASKATOON – Saskatchewan’s principal mining industry members have taken the next step to new investments in the development of innovative education and training solutions that are essential to closing the diversity and inclusion gaps for women and Indigenous peoples in the minerals sector.
On May 2, 2017, the International Minerals Innovation Institute (IMII) released four calls for focused, actionable innovations in education and training to mobilize minds and resources to support its industry members and their workforce diversity and inclusion targets. Twenty-six preliminary project proposals were submitted from a wide range of applicants, many new to the IMII, and 9 have been shortlisted by IMII’s funding members for further consideration under this $1 million program.
