Northern College has sent its latest batch of graduates into the workforce. 13 students completed a 15-week course at the Timmins campus in the five-piece heavy equipment operator, and AZ truck driving program. The program has an Aboriginal focus, and the students came from as far away as Moosonee and Moose Factory to attend.
