Rollout of the National Mining Career Ambassador Program

Agreement Number:

GC-130244S

Agreement Value:

$20,000.00

Agreement Date:

Sep 14, 2022 - Mar 31, 2023

Description:

The objective of this Project is to rollout the National Mining Career Ambassador Program by recruiting and training Career Ambassadors from the mining sector across Canada, who will engage diverse youth and audiences within schools and communities.

Organization:

Natural Resources Canada

Expected Results:

A National Mining Career Awareness Strategy will attract youth to the minerals and metals industry, which is expected to face labour supply challenges within the next decade due to retirements. As the current perception of the mining and minerals sectors is not strong amongst most job seekers, the Program will build capacity among mining stakeholders to participate in outreach and engagement activities to engage diverse youth.
