Mining Needs You Virtual Career Fair Set to Happen from November 15-16 with vFairs as Event Technology Partner

The virtual career fair will bring mining industry and academia professionals, recruiters, employers, and other sector representatives in direct contact with students and job seekers looking for exciting opportunities.

Kanata, ON – The Mining Industry Human Resources Council (MiHR), the Prospectors & Developers Association of Canada (PDAC), and the Canadian Institute of Mining, Metallurgy and Petroleum (CIM) are jointly hosting the Mining Needs You Virtual Career Fair to take place on the vFairs platform on November 15 & 16, 2022. Interested job seekers, students and mining exhibitors can register here.

This national job fair will bring together top recruiters from Canada’s mining industry, job seekers and post-secondary students. It is an excellent opportunity for mining recruiters to get acquainted with top talent for hiring. 

Exhibitors can showcase their organizations’ job opportunities and interview potential candidates. They can also purchase one of 10 available 30-minute webinar time slots to deliver a presentation related to careers at their organizations.

The November 2021 Mining Needs You Virtual Career Fair had nearly 800 job seekers attend, and included 38 exhibitors for attendees to connect with. The list of exhibitors for this year’s event continues to grow. 

We need mining to build a safer, greener and more connected world. The shift to a low carbon economy will not be possible without Canada’s mining sector, which produces over 60 minerals and metals essential to our way of life today and to the world we want to create tomorrow. 

Whether someone’s training is in skilled trades, engineering, geoscience, computing and robotics, environmental or social work, or any number of other areas, there is a career for them in mining.

Job seekers can get more information about the virtual career fair and register for the event here.
