Description:

The current workforce is nearing retirement, and the industry needs to adapt by hiring the next wave of employees. Sadly, only 11% of Canadians under 30 would consider working in mining and quarrying (Abascus Data, 2020). The next wave of Canadian workers is already starting their careers, so let’s address the elephant in the room: “How do we attract, engage and work with young people? What exactly do they want out of work?

Key Learnings:

  • Why do we need to hire younger staff?
  • How to broaden your hiring pool and appeal to younger, non-traditional employees.
  • How to showcase and advertise career paths to potential employees.
  • How introducing technology can help you:
    • attract more talent;
    • speed up and work efficiently;
    • retain younger workers; and
    • save money in the long run.
