MAYO – Yukon University will receive more than $1 million from Employment and Social Development Canada to support community training needs.
The Community Retraining of Workers Project (CROW) will address the challenges from the mass layoffs at Victoria Gold’s Eagle Gold Mine. This program will build a collaborative workforce through community engagement by bridging the gap between impacted workers and community employers. It will facilitate work experience opportunities, skill development and career pathway guidance.
CROW will be funded under the Canada Retraining and Opportunities Initiative. Announced earlier this week, the project is part of a $50 million Government of Canada initiative to expand the social safety net to support more workers and communities.
