Cameco employee at work in the control room of a water treatment plant Chosen as one of Canada's Best Diversity Employers for 2013: By Kristina Leung and Richard Yerema, Mediacorp Canada Inc. staff editors (Feb 18, 2013) Some of the reasons why Cameco Corporation was selected as one of Canada's Best Diversity Employers 2013: established a diversity committee and employment equity plan with goals to increase workforce representation of women, Aboriginal peoples, visible minorities and persons with disabilities also created a northern workforce strategy to focus on the recruitment of residents from northern Saskatchewan, of which a large percentage are of Aboriginal ancestry -- the strategy is managed by a dedicated team of employees who consult with Aboriginal leadership, local schools, community members and professionals on the creation of opportunities for residents as well as overall development of the northern community in partnership with the Northern Apprenticeship Committee and Northern Career Quest, hired six apprentices in northern Saskatchewan who are working toward journeyman certification apprentices work alongside experienced Cameco employees and receive funding for tuition and living and travel allowance -- once certified, apprentices become full time employees of the organization recently introduced a "Workplace Inclusion and Accommodation" program to support of the development of an inclusive and barrier-free work environment partners with Women in Mining (WIM) and the Mining Human Resource Council to research employment barriers faced by women in the mining industry sponsors the "Multi-party Training Program", a co-operative training initiative developed by the province of Saskatchewan, federal government, and Aboriginal and M�tis authorities attends career fairs sponsored by the Saskatoon Open Door Society to help new Canadian job-seekers, and also works with them to deliver information sessions on employment in Canada "Since immigrating from China nine years ago, I have taken university English courses, but still I struggle with pronunciation. This makes it a little bit tough to keep close communication with the guys I work with every day on site. Last year, my supervisor suggested an online training program that is offered by Cameco. I can go to the website when I have time and it helps me practice my pronunciation word by word, or sentence by sentence. I feel like it�s easier to communicate with my co-workers, and as I get to know them better it�s going to be much better than before." — Xiaoyou Y., Ground Control Engineer Background Information Major Canadian hiring locations: Saskatoon SK, Port Hope ON, Cobourg ON, Blind River ON.
