Residents in Dawson City, Yukon, can now sign up for specialized training to help them get jobs in transportation and technology through new courses starting this spring. The Yukon University Dawson Campus is providing these programs to help workers meet modern certification requirements for regional employment.
The university has scheduled a Class 4 driver’s licence preparation course from March 30 to April 1, 2026. This six-hour classroom program is intended for people who want to drive vehicles such as taxis, ambulances, or small buses.
In June, the campus will host two levels of drone pilot training. The first level runs from June 1 to June 5, 2026, and the second level takes place from June 8 to June 12, 2026.
The advanced drone training covers technical applications like mapping and surveying. It also includes training for search and rescue operations, helping local residents gain skills used in the mining and surveying industries.
