Mining Weekly: the Mining Industry Human Resources Council (MiHR) says that 100 000 people will be needed by 2020 to meet anticipated production in the mining industry in Canada, and there aren't enough students in mining training to meet the need.
MiHR executive director Ryan Montpellier explains that, during the global econo- mic downturn, students struggled to find employment and turned to other programmes. “However, by the time they graduate, the recruitment cycle has progressed and jobs are often available. Labour market intelli- gence is, therefore, a key source of information that needs to be communicated to prospective students and postsecondary educational institutions,” he says.
