Reserve Your Place Now

The energy transition is heavily reliant upon mining, but the mining industry has an image problem.

Transition Needs Talent brings the world of Mining, Education and Climate Risk & Resilience together under one roof to collaborate on one question, how do we inspire todays young people to be a part of the mining industry of tomorrow?

Did you know:

A global survey by a leading consulting firm found 70% of its 15- to 30-year-old respondents said that they definitely wouldn’t or probably wouldn’t work in mining.
Numbers graduating in Mining courses has fallen by as much as 63% in key mining countries like Australia and Canada.
Many CEO’s acknowledge that the talent pipeline represents an existential threat to their business.
Last year 4 UK Universities banned mining companies from recruiting on campus and attending careers fairs!

So how do we create change?
