"Oshki-Pimache-O-Win Education and Training Institute receives $2.7 million in federal funding to enable the institute, through its trades training mobile lab, to provide specialized training for First Nations people in 49 communities across the Nishnawbe Aski Nation.

The funding is also earmarked to upgrade the trades labs at Dennis Franklin Cromarty High School.

"We are excited by the huge potential a mobile trades trailer lab transportable by truck will have for specialized and trades training for Indigenous learners living in communities of the Nishnawbe Aski Nation,” said Rosie Mosquito, executive director of the Oshki-Pimache-O-Win. “This will allow us to deliver plumbing, mechanical and electrical training to Indigenous learners, which will enable them to meet the needs of communities that normally have to rely on fly-in tradespeople at huge expense. This will position Indigenous peoples for well-paying jobs."
