Session Details
Indigenous youth are the fastest growing demographic in Canada, and a vital component of the mineral industry - the largest private sector employer of Indigenous Peoples in Canada. As mineral exploration and development companies face rising workforce challenges, and Indigenous communities strive to develop the internal capacity needed to participate in the mineral sector, it is important to understand the needs, interests, and values of future generations. This panel will bring together an experienced Indigenous-industry leader, employment and education associations, and two past participants of PDAC's Indigenous Youth and Early Career Ambassador Program to break down what industry, academics, government, and communities can do to support the leaders of tomorrow.
