Residents in Igloolik, Nunavut, can now sign up for a training program designed to help them get jobs in the mining industry. The 2026 Work Ready Program will take place from March 13 to March 19, 2026, offering community members a chance to learn skills needed for industrial careers.
The training will cover several topics, including an introduction to the mining industry and essential workplace skills. Participants will also learn about money management and how to prepare for the unique demands of fly-in/fly-out job rotations.
The Municipality of Igloolik is helping to share information about the program, which is run by the Baffinland Iron Mines Corporation. These programs are held in North Baffin communities to support local employment and provide workplace education that helps residents find jobs.
Residents who want to sign up can contact the Baffinland Community Liaison Office to register. This office serves as the main point of contact for people who want to learn more about employment and training opportunities with mining projects in the region.
