Customized training in battery-electric mining equipment maintenance at Collège Boréal
Collège Boréal will offer customized training in battery-electric mining equipment maintenance starting in the fall of 2020.

This training is designed specifically to address the needs of professionals in the mining sector who want to add this specialty to their skill set, as well as graduates in related fields who wish to further their professional development.
Adapting to the evolution of mining sector skills
The mining industry is experiencing profound technological change as it transitions to exploration and extraction processes that are more economically efficient and sensitive to environmental concerns, and the training sector must follow suit. Collège Boréal stays abreast of these new realities and adapts its skills training to market needs.
Battery maintenance is a key factor in ensuring the operating time and life expectancy of battery-electric mining equipment. Mining operations require experts in this field as battery-electric mining equipment becomes increaslingly common.
