Working with the Artemis Project, we created the Artemisa Mining Challenge to grow a talent pool of professional women mining engineers in Latin America. High-achieving, newly graduated women are being helped to find supportive pipelines to launch and boost their careers. This effort was also established to help the mining industry address its commitments to hire more women, especially in technical, trades and managerial roles.
In Chile, a country with one of the lowest rates of women working in mining, more than 75 young female graduates have been prequalified and are now seeking their first jobs as junior mining engineers. Our pipeline of talented women miners is global with leaders in every region who speak the language and know the culture.
