Cambrian College in Sudbury is now offering training in mine hoist maintenance and operation.
A six-course suite of programs will be offered at the Sudbury campus, starting this spring.
“We’re hearing from companies and we’re tailoring our courses and programs here at Cambrian to meet the demands of industry,” said Kim Lair, Cambrian’s general manager of ancillary business operations, in an April 2 news release.
