In any industry, it’s not just about having a job; it’s about having a job that helps us be fully understood and grow as persons. The mining industry is an exceptional place to find career opportunities that raise people up to their highest abilities. Take Kinross Nevada’s ‘Mining Vegas for Talent’ initiative. In collaboration with Nevada (NV) Careers, Kinross recruits new employees from underserved communities, welcoming individuals regardless of their work or education experience and teaching them the necessary skills to excel.
In the four stories highlighted as part of the initiative, those in the program point to the supportive community within the mining industry and specifically in their experience with Kinross. They had the opportunity to learn new and applicable skills in an industry with good paying jobs they can rely on. Mining provides for so many direct – and indirect – jobs across the U.S. and allows for miners to be their very best.
