Proactive’s Tylah Tully breaks down ‘Just the Facts’ of the latest news from Celsius Resources Ltd (ASX:CLA, AIM:CLA).
The company’s Philippine affiliate, Makilala Mining Company Inc. (MMCI), has signed a Memorandum of Agreement (MoA) with the Regional Technical Education and Skills Development Authority (TESDA).
It was officially signed on the third of this month and aims to enhance the skills of local and neighbouring community members around Celsius' Maalinao-Caigutan-Biyog (MCB) Copper-Gold Project.
The training will prepare residents for employment and business opportunities during the construction and operation phases of the project, which are expected to start this year.
TESDA will collaborate with MMCI to implement a Community-Based Skills Training Program. The program focuses on construction skills such as carpentry, masonry, welding, and plumbing, aligned with national standards and project requirements.
Celsius sees this partnership as a key initiative to empower local residents and ensure they can benefit from the opportunities presented by the MCB Project, fostering long-term community growth.
