It’s no secret the mining sector has experienced some recruitment challenges over the years. Things like public perception and a lack of trust, which we’ve explored in previous episodes, certainly deserve some of the blame. But if we’re going to ensure we have the materials we need for the green energy transition, the industry needs an influx of fresh talent.
In this season finale episode of Why We Mine, presented by Teck, host Robin Stickley sits down with three young up-and-comers from the University of British Columbia’s Geological Engineering program for a frank conversation about the pros and cons of a career in modern mining. They also discuss how the appeal has grown in recent years as the industry evolves, both technologically and philosophically. Finally, Robin is joined by Doctor Charlotte Gibson, the Associate Head of The Robert M. Buchan Department of Mining at Queen’s University, to find out what schools are doing to put young people on the path to a career in mining, and what they could be doing better.
