The move comes as the province launches the next round of a campaign to attract workers to its growing economy.
Enterprise Minister Jeremy Harrison says it’s estimated that 75-thousand workers will be needed in the next several years and about 15-thousand in the mining industry alone.
Harrison says the province is working with industry to bridge significant labour gaps.
Several Saskatchewan mining companies including BHP Billiton (NYSE:BHP), Cameco (TSX:CCO), Potash Corp (TSX:POT) and Mosaic will be at the recruiting event.
