A new deal should help ensure First Nation communities near Ring of Fire development capitalize on upcoming employment opportunities.

The Matawa training program Kiikenomaga Kikenjigewen Employment and Training Services, along with Noront Resources and Confederation College, signed a memorandum of understanding for an Aboriginal Training Alliance Monday.

The five-year agreement will allow people from the nine Matawa First Nations to receive skills training from the College.

That workforce would then get employment opportunities at Noront's Eagles Nest project in the Ring of Fire.
