MiHR’s Green Jobs Program

MiHR’s Green Jobs Program helps job-ready youth gain relevant and meaningful work experience in mining through paid placements or training opportunities that focus on clean technology and innovation, and ultimately provide an environmental benefit to Canada. Meaningful placements of up to 12 months in duration are delivered through MiHR-approved hiring organizations whose work processes affect positive environmental outcomes. The Green Jobs program provides 80% of participant’s compensation to a maximum of $25,000 for job-ready youth and $32,000 for youth furthest from employment (Indigenous youth, youth in northern regions (Yukon, Northwest Territories, and Nunavut) and remote communities (a permanent or long-term (5 years or more) settlement with at least 10 dwellings that does not have year-round road access).
