The company does offer apprenticeship opportunities. The person would have to complete their probationary period, show an interest in that particular trade, and then go through the internal process. Of course because of apprenticeship requirements we are limited on how many apprentices we can take on at any given time. There is a ratio between journeymen and apprentices. But we do offer apprenticeships and we have a number of aboriginal people engaged in the program.
Also, all our jobs are posted internally and on our website. We do encourage people who have been working at site to move up into supervisory positions. We have some that are going up to supervisory. Some people don't want to take on responsibilities like that. They would just rather do their job and not have the problems that go along. They just want to work and go home and they're happy.
Right now I believe we have somewhere around 15 individuals that are in senior management positions throughout the company. Some are in sales. Some are in human resources. Some are managers and operations managers and they are first nations and Métis.
