What if the mining industry’s talent challenge is not simply a perception problem — but a question of culture, belonging and purpose?
Inspired by conversations at the Amira Global Exploration Managers’ Conference about talent, a recent discussion between Hayley Mcgillivray and Anil Subramanya explores why younger generations continue to feel disconnected from the mining sector, despite growing interest in sustainability, technology and future-focused careers.

• Why belonging cannot be communicated into existence without meaningful cultural change
• The role of Indigenous knowledge, neurodiversity and experiential learning in shaping the future workforce
