While mining is changing, so too is society and with it the expectations of tomorrow’s workforce. To attract the next generation of Gen Z miners, the industry will need to adapt to meet their legitimate expectations of greater diversity, equity, and inclusion. But the next generation, in fact the current generation, of miners will also need to rapidly acquire a new set of excellences, skills and attitudes if they are to succeed in the mine of the future. Continual learning, adapting to AI, developing enhanced people and contextual skills, building professional networks of support, and tooling up for the energy transition are all challenges every miner and future professional will face.
