Saskatchewan’s Immigration and Career Training and Trade and Export Development Minister, Jeremy Harrison, is off to the United Kingdom and Poland along with a delegation to drum up opportunities in agriculture, critical minerals, technology, immigration and to attract skilled workers.

A news release from the government states that the UK stop includes an event to showcase Saskatchewan’s capabilities in critical minerals and the Saskatchewan Research Council’s experience in rare earths processing. The SRC is developing North America’s first fully integrated Rare Earth Element Processing Facility. President and CEO of the SRC, Mike Crabtree says, “As the world looks to secure access to critical minerals essential for telecommunications, computing and clean energy, Saskatchewan is well-positioned to meet these demands.” Saskatchewan businesses are also attending the World Agri-Tech Innovation Summit.

Then it’s off to Poland for a delegation of employers and the Saskatchewan Immigrant Nominee Program to attend a recruitment fair to attract skilled workers for in-demand positions in the province.
