Most of the industry’s jobs require high school, college, university, trades apprenticeship training, or years of experience. Northern residents need to be aware of the opportunities and prepare. North’s young population are job seekers In the Northwest Territories, by 2030, 11,000 youth will complete their education journey and be looking for employment. In its Skills4Success 15-year forecast, the Government of the Northwest Territories reports there will be several thousand territorial jobs openings including many in mining. Mining is the Northwest Territories largest private sector employer of Indigenous peoples and young Indigenous populations in the North live in the same areas where resource companies operate. MININGNORTHWORKS.COM Mining North Works! | Career Catalogue - 3 DIAMOND MINES IN CANADA’S NORTHWEST TERRITORIES CREATING CHALLENGING CAREERS Companies are committed to hiring northern and northern Indigenous peoples and to gender diversity The territory’s diamond mines strongly believe local residents should be first in line for employment opportunities and the mines have been very successful hiring and training northerners. These are large mines and together they employ over 3,000 people, far exceeding the total number of jobs originally predicted. But northerners only fill 48 per cent of the total. Mines are striving to improve local employment but raising the percentage has been difficult as many of the jobs require technical skills, trades training, post secondary education, and experience. The mines are also working to increase the number of women they employ. Currently, women comprise only 15 per cent. For northerners who pursue an education and get the skills needed, these gaps represent major career opportunities and should encourage northerners and women to pursue mining jobs.
