THE CAMECO EXPERIENCE
U drive your career, we provide the MAP!
Cameco offers ongoing education and training opportunities and works to support the learning needs of our employees. We will encourage you to pursue your professional goals and to apply for positions of interest.
Managing and assessing performance – or MAP – is Cameco's performance appraisal program for salaried employees. Through MAP, your performance expectations are clearly defined and you participate fully in performance planning.
U can lead!
Cameco has a suite of leadership programs that educate, develop and support interested employees, from entry level to executive level, who have the skills and desire to take more of a leadership role in the corporation.
Education Assistance – Cameco provides financial support to employees who take the initiative to further their education by enrolling in a course or completing a diploma or degree. Support covers the full cost of tuition, books and related expenses, and may include up to 45 days of annual paid leave, when employees' studies are directly relevant to their jobs or career paths and are of value to the company.
Career Transition – This program offers post-secondary education opportunities for high-potential residents of Saskatchewan's north (RSN). The goal is to increase employment opportunities at northern site operations, trades and professional positions.
High-potential RSNs with a high school diploma interested in pursuing post-secondary education in a mining-related field (engineering, chemistry, geology, chemical technician, etc.) may qualify to receive financial support to cover tuition and a living allowance, and up to 80% of their salary while in school.
Workplace Education – For over a decade Cameco has partnered with Northlands College in La Ronge, SK to deliver workplace education at three of Cameco's northern Saskatchewan operations.
Tutorial support is provided for apprentices for technical training and trade exams. The program also provides the following:
- Literacy tutoring in reading, writing and math
- Help with GED (general educational development) preparation
- Help with college, technical institute or university courses
- Computer software training
Apprenticeships – Cameco is focused on increasing its skilled trades workforce, especially with residents of Saskatchewan's north (RSN). Two distinct options for apprenticeship programs are offered: regular indentured apprenticeships and pre-employment programs.
