Jennifer knew exactly what she wanted when she set her sights on a career in mining, and she wasn’t afraid to work for it. When we spoke with her, she was beaming with excitement as she announced she had landed her dream job. On July 1st, she would start as an underground production miner, operating a 45-ton wiggle rock truck at Musselwhite Mine. It’s an incredible accomplishment and one that took a lot of training, determination, and support to achieve.
Jennifer’s journey began when she visited YES and met with Employment Coordinator Brenda Richtig. Brenda recognized Jennifer’s determination immediately. Jennifer’s first goal was to apply for government-funded Common Core training as a surface miner. She had been unemployed for an extended period but knew this training would open doors and give her control over her future.
