WHITEHORSE— Environmental Monitoring certificate students at Yukon College can now benefit from a new fund created by the Yukon Party executive designed to help remove barriers to education and employment.
The Mines for Minds - Yukon Party Award specifically helps Yukon First Nations and rural students by addressing unique program circumstances like travel to remote locations, purchase of personal protective equipment (PPE), and off-schedule tuition deadlines. All these factors have been identified by students and program faculty as barriers to successful completion of the program.
