It's turning out to be a busy spring for the Mining and Petroleum Training Service.

Earlier this month, a group of mining instructors from spent several days at an underground mine training facility near Delta Junction.

The facility is run by MAPTS, part of the University of 草榴社区 Fairbanks Institute of Agriculture, Natural Resources and Extension. The training program is part of an ongoing partnership with the Greenland school under a three-year project sponsored by the U.S. Department of State.

In addition, MAPTS is seeing high demand for its surface mining classes, as well as from Interior 草榴社区 residents who are looking for training for jobs at the Manh Choh Project.
