#008 Careers, Covid19 and Mining

--:--
What it takes to have a career in mining - an industry in transition

Claire McMaster (Fraser Alexander | Executive: Head Human Resources)

In this episode, Briony Liber, committee member and mentoring lead for Women in Mining South Africa, chats with Claire McMaster about what it takes to have a career in mining.

The mining landscape and the skills required to thrive in a career in the mining industry have changed dramatically in the last few years, and Covid-19 has accelerated that. In this episode, we discuss the human resources challenges facing the mining industry, the way in which technology is contributing to and changing the mining industry, the changing skill sets that professionals need to survive and thrive in the mining industry, and how organisations can help their employees thrive under COVID-19 as it accelerates the need to embrace technological solutions.
