Addressing the Gaps

• Need for a multi-faceted approach to address gaps. Work together as an industry to promote careers in mining to youth, Aboriginal peoples, women and immigrants.

• Coordinate and expand initiatives to work with government, education and training providers, industry employers, and other associations to grow the labour pool.

• In all cases, the industry must strive to make the best possible use of the talent already involved with the industry, including retaining mature workers and re-engaging the retired workforce.
