Diversity Fund - Female Millwright Students

Wednesday, May 26, 2010

To help fund initiatives to increase participation of women and under represented groups on the job site, the Resource Development Council and Vale Inco have established a Diversity Fund as part of the Long Harbour Nickel Processing Plant collective agreement. The fund consists of fifteen (15) grants in the amount of $10,000 each for women to complete the entry level Millwright apprenticeship program beginning September 7, 2010.  These grants are only eligible to those who meet the entrance requirements for this program and for those who do not qualify for other forms of non-repayable funding.  The grants are for tuition costs only and all other costs will be the responsibility of the participant. 

All aplications will be subject to review and will be processed on a first-come, first-served basis.  For more information, please contact Karen MacDonald at 364-5586 (ext. 261) by June 25th, 2010.
