Preparing the Unemployed for the Mining Sector

The Human Resources and Workforce Development Committee (HRWDC) of the Alaska Miners Association (AMA) identified mill process operators, mechanics, and underground miners as three of the priority occupations. Therefore, this proposal seeks funding to create or sustain programs to award the following credentials 1) Mill Process Operator (MPO) Occupational Endorsement (OE) 2) Underground New Miner 3) Mine Mechanic (OE) and Mine Mechanic (Associate's). UAF will also create a mill process simulator, a training tool that currently does not exist anywhere in the world. Once developed, this tool will become part of the MPO program.
