The Workplace Adult Education program began in 1996 as a pilot program with Cameco Corporation at its mine sites in northern Saskatchewan. The pilot was designed to see how best to deliver training to a workforce secluded in a work camp environment.
Document Highlights
Cameco’s workplace training initiative is the first general program at a northern Saskatchewan mine site to address literacy, basic academic skills, and actual educational level, while recognizing the cultural diversity of the workforce. The objective of Cameco’s training initiative is to help employees achieve their personal educational goals and to help them reach their full potential in their work functions. Mining and other natural resource industries could make use of Cameco’s training model. This example demonstrates that workforce development challenges, such as rotating shift work, remote work locations, and diverse cultures can be successfully overcome.
