The largest grad class among Nunavut Arctic College's campuses came from the Kivalliq this year as 87 students were recently recognized for their achievements. Arviat's Tyra Suluk was one of the pre-apprenticeship carpentry students. She was motivated to learn the trade to help out someone dear to her. "My dad had bought a house few years ago that needed everything renovated so I took the course so that I can renovate it myself instead of paying thousands of dollars for housing to renovate it," Suluk explained. Her mother is a self-taught carpenter, so Suluk also wanted to acquire the skills to become more like her. She began the classes in September and finished in April. She's now seeking a journeyperson carpenter so she can accumulate hours on the job to move on to her second year. Her objective is to complete four years of training and earn her red seal in carpentry. The past several months saw her build a sawhorse with the use of only hand tools, she put up cabin walls alongside her classmates, and she
crafted ulus. Upon successfully wrapping up her introductory year, she said a few women from her hometown approached her to ask how to apply for the program.
"I was shocked when more women were interested taking the trades," she said. At the campus this year, the most popular program was the heavy equipment operator air brake course, which 12
students passed. Eleven participants made the grade in the apprenticeship housing maintainer program. Management studies certificates went to 10 learners while three others
achieved their management studies diplomas. Nine students were training to become apprentice oil heat systems technicians. Eight completed the office administration certificate program while
another eight were involved in introduction to mine training. Numerous other apprenticeship and pre-apprenticeship level programs were offered over the past year at the Kivalliq campus.
