Trans Mountain works collaboratively with our local Indigenous communities to provide access to economic development opportunities – from employment and business opportunities to training programs.
As a result of this collaborative process, Trans Mountain created a close-to-qualified training program – the Pipeline Construction Readiness Training Program (PCRT) – based on direct input received from Indigenous communities. The PCRT is implemented in partnership with our general construction contractors working on the Trans Mountain Expansion Project.
Nicole Dunham is the Indigenous and Community Relations Advisor with Midwest Pipelines, one of the General Construction Contractors on the Trans Mountain Expansion Project, and is a member of the Lac Ste. Anne Métis. She participated in the Pipeline Construction Readiness Training Program in December 2019, which helped shape her career. We sat down with Nicole, virtually, to learn more about the program and how it has helped her advance her career.
