In 2008, Raglan Mine began a programme to create more Inuit jobs and career opportunities, with indigenous mining traineeships: the initiative is called Tamatumani.

Raglan Mine is a Glencore nickel operation in northern Canada; although it already employed Inuit workers we wanted to encourage more long-term employment, expand indigenous mining opportunities and foster better workplace integration.

The Tamatumani training and employment programme is sponsored by the government for its work with local Inuit communities. Raglan Mine employees visit communities in the local Nunavik region, attend community events to discuss job opportunities and meet interested candidates, visit high schools to encourage students to consider a career in mining, and meet with local community representatives on a variety of issues.

A key initiative created as part of the Tamatumani project team is the Inuit Employment Centre. This is the first point of contact to receive and process requests for Inuit personnel from the various services and contractors based at the Raglan Mine site.

So far Tamatumani has placed Inuit workers in over 100 positions, covering more than 45 types of jobs. Our number of Inuit employees has risen from 55 in 1998 to 158 as of 31 December 2014, the highest number in Raglan Mine’s history. At the end of 2014, over 18% of our workforce was from Inuit communities.
