The shortage of skilled labor has become one of the future concerns of the mining sector. An industry that requires trained engineers and experts for the development of exploration and extraction of its resources, yet part of the capacity of its academic fields remains unfilled, and not all graduates are absorbed into mining activities. On the other hand, those who gain the necessary experience and skills, according to activists in this field, sometimes leave the mining sector due to low wages and limited job opportunities or migrate to neighboring countries for work. Thus, the issue is not only the declining interest of candidates in mining engineering; the mining sector is simultaneously facing difficulties in attracting new labor and retaining experienced personnel.
