Featherstone Mentorship Program
One of many ways we provide inclusion to Indigenous Communities and introduce young participants to our industry is through the Featherstone Mentoring Program. Our program was implemented in 2013 and provides on-the-job mentorship and training for individuals who want to work in the pipeline construction industry and possess the required tickets but cannot get that first job due to lack of relevant experience. Arnett & Burgess helps ease these barriers by providing hands-on work opportunities in order to gain greater local participation.
