Some Grade 8 girls and boys from around the Northwest Territories learned valuable lessons about teamwork and leadership, and career opportunities available in the mining industry, as De Beers participated in the annual Power Up! Conference led by Skills Canada NWT. The conference is an opportunity for teens to explore a variety of career opportunities by participating in workshops with interactive and hands-on activities. The girls’ conference was Nov. 20 and the boys’ event was Nov. 21. The conference was held in Yellowknife and De Beers was one of several local companies who hosted groups of young participants.
