Official Launch of the Construction Engineering Technician — Civil and Mining Program at Collège Boréal’s Timmins Campus
The two-year program will train students in practical and theoretical skills as regional employers seek workers, with more than 3,700 mining jobs due by 2029.
- On Friday, Collège Boréal officially launched its Construction Engineering Technician – Civil and Mining program at its Timmins campus to address regional workforce needs.
- Facing a projected need for more than 3,700 new mining-related jobs by 2029, local employers identified a critical shortage of qualified labor in trades and production roles.
- The two-year program begins this September with 10 registered students out of a maximum 20 per cohort, teaching blueprint reading, construction site management, and specialized software.
- Kidd Operations superintendent Gilles Paradis emphasized the need for qualified labor, asking, "Where are you going to get the people... who I can trust to execute our project on time?".
- College President Daniel Giroux expects the program to retain local youth while attracting talent from across Canada, as Dean Daniel Leduc plans to expand the advisory committee to reflect regional needs.
