About the Program

The Tahltan HEO program is a multi-faceted program designed to build capacity in our communities across several areas:

  • Drivers’ Licenses and driving for employment

  • Developing new heavy equipment operators

  • Continuing to grow current heavy equipment operators into mentors, trainers and instructors

The program has been developed in partnership with industry, industry training authorities and funding partners, with the majority of training occurring in Tahltan Territory. It helps to address skill shortages within our region while also providing on-the-job practical work experience to set participants up for success.
