I joined a 2-year training program to become a computer technician, although I knew very little about computers.

Mark - Computer Technician

Having myself completed the Stope School program, I have a unique perspective on its operational aspects. I am proud to see young Inuit take up the challenge of joining the company. I find that Raglan Mine offers fine career opportunities, which can contribute to building a better lifestyle for them and giving back to the communities.
