With an unprecedented number of World Class mining projects around the globe fueling demand not only for workers with the right mining skills and experience but also a high demand for unskilled workers, the mining industry is full of employment opportunities for skilled and unskilled workers as the wave of mining development continues.
As Australian, European, Asian and American mining Companies enter the African Mining landscape, they face a challenge of accessing homegrown skilled and unskilled labor to work in their companies.
The shortage of mining workers has raised concerns about the mining sector's capacity to keep pace with the ongoing commitments. This not withstanding, the global mining industry has a shortage of skilled and unskilled labor.
