The Australian Resources and Energy Employer Association (AREEA) released a report last week that said the mining industry needs 24,000 new workers during the next five years to keep on top of its projects. Which includes coal mining.
“Our industry is battling the worst skills crisis in a generation,” AREEA’s chief executive Steve Knott said, per ABC.
“We’ve launched a program directly targeted at the hearts and minds of Gen Z, saying to them: ‘don’t stand on the sidelines throwing rocks, get involved in this industry — you be part of the transition as the industry and the world moves to net zero by 2050’.
“There are highly paid jobs waiting for you in an industry that is doing everything it can to improve its environmental and social performance,” he said.
