Next IQ Academy Webinar is on how to inspire the next generation in Mineral Extractives
Future-proofing the mineral extractives industryโs workforce is an imperative that is being addressed as a priority. It will form the hot topic of discussion at this monthโs IQ Academy โLunch and Learnโ webinar.
Taking place from 12.30-13.00 on Thursday 21 June 2018, โInspiring Futures in Mineral Extractivesโ will be presented by Anthony Elgey, General Manager for MP Futures, part of MPQC.
Commenting on what guests can expect from the โLunch and Learnโ webinar, Anthony says: โIโve worked in the quarrying industry for over 20 years and the issue of an ageing workforce is one that weโve been talking about for as long as I can remember.
โThis bitesize webinar will explore how the industryโs employers can get involved with our initiative and promote the great things our industry does; how we can engage with local schools, colleges and universities to inspire future employees; and why โInspiring Futuresโ is so important for future-proofing our industry.โ
James Thorne, CEO IQ, adds:ย โThere is an urgent need to understand how the sector will replace a vast proportion of its workforce due to retirement. Anthony is extremely passionate about education and employee development; not only will the webinar encourage discussion around an industry-wide issue, but it also earns members valuable continuing professional development (CPD).โ
MP Futures is the lead player in the โInspiring Futuresโ initiative, which promotes careers in the mineral extractives industry to the next generation. Its aim is to create a mechanism that will enable and assist all employers in the sector to engage with future employees.
