Marc LeVier from the SME discusses Human Capital as the Real Issue in the Critical Minerals Industry

In this InvestorIntel interview during PDAC 2023, Tracy Weslosky talks to the Society for Mining, Metallurgy, and Exploration’s (SME) President Marc LeVier about why the lack of human resources is “the real issue in the critical minerals market.” He adds, “where are we going to get all these [critical minerals] mines? And once we get the mines, where are we going to get the people to [operate] them?”

As an organization focused on bringing together the mining and mineral industry’s brightest and most dedicated professionals, Marc discusses SME’s initiatives to attract students to the mining industry. Highlighting the need for student scholarships as a key way to attract young talent in the mining industry, Marc goes on to provide an update on SME’s collaboration with WorkerBee TV to produce six episodes entitled “Jobs of Tomorrow” featuring mining jobs.
