The LATP staff and board of directors are excited to announce the re-opening of our office(s) and look forward to providing education and employment assistance to our Indigenous clients. In the upcoming weeks we will be busy with staff recruitment and program planning. In the meantime, we ask for your patience during this transition and encourage you to visit our website and Facebook page for updates. We look forward to working with you.

Please note that effective February 7, 2022, The LATP staff will be offering continued support to our clients through appointment only. Please call 896-3500 or email admin@latp.ca to arrange a meeting time. Thank you for your understanding at this unprecedented time.

We still have spaces available in the Camp Attendant training in Nain starting mid November and Mining Foundations in Hopedale. Both are available to clients from any community. Please reach out to the closest LATP staff person for information.

Unfortunately because of windy weather and limitation on flights, we have had to postpone our community visit to Hopedale this week. We will reschedule as soon as we can.

The health and safety issue has put a kink in our training plans. LATP staff are working from their homes and are accessible by email. We are still accepting applications for various training, however, start dates are not determined now. The next underground mine training is set for May 5 and we are hopeful it will proceed. There are also underground trainings set for May, Sept and October.

Keith Jacque and Ocean Lane are in Hopedale this week to meet with clients interested in a variety of training offerings. Camp Attendant training starts in Hopedale on Jan 27. Mining Foundations training will begin in late March in Hopedale. We still have a few spaces in Diamond Drilling training that starts in Sudbury on Feb 24th. The next intake for Underground Mining training is in May, so we urge client to start the application process now.

We are pleased to welcome Ocean Lane to the LATP staff. Ocean will work out of Makkovik to serve Nunatsiavut clients who live on the north coast. She is filling in for Janelle who is off on maternity leave. Her office is located in the arena, but her phone is not yet installed.... you can reach Ocean via email olane@latp.ca

"Our apologies for not being able to deliver the community information sessions to both Postville and Makkovik on underground mining this fall, unfortunately the weather did not cooperate. We, along with VALE, are still committed to deliver them, and will schedule them for early in the new year. Once a date is confirmed, we will post up notices. On behalf of the LATP staff and board, we want to wish you a very Merry Christmas and a Happy and Prosperous New Year. Hopefully see you out to the sessions."

Thank-you
Keith Jacque, Executive Director

LATP will be offering Camp Attendant training over the next few months in Natuashish, Sheshatshiu, and Nunatsiavut. If you are interested and would like to put on the list for this training, let your LATP Career Counsellor know.
