Expanding Mining Education to Meet Changing Skills Needs

As the mining industry continues to change and experience critical job shortages, the Goodman School of Mines at Laurentian University is collaborating to expand the scope of mining education and offering training in the fundamental skillsets that are needed in the industry.

The Goodman School of Mines has partnered with multiple universities to build a mining masterclass — an online, multi-credentialed and micro-credential program — that will leverage the best in all of the disciplines that they have to offer in mining and mining-related programming. The School focuses on programming, training and research to support and expose students to the full mining cycle.

The Goodman School of Mines is also enhancing work-integrated and cross-disciplinary learning opportunities for Laurentian students through minors, workshops, competitions, mine site tours and field trips, conferences, networking events, as well as other mining-related activities and scholarships. These efforts expose students to all facets of the industry and serve as a bridge between educational opportunities and the pursuit of career advancement in the mining industry.
