Ramp-UP: A Study on the Status of Women in Canada's Mining and Exploration Sector
The Ramp-UP study, launched in March 2010, has produced findings that confirm to industry what barriers exist and more importantly, what can be done to attract, retain and advance more women in the mining sector. Diversifying the workforce by increasing the number of women retained and recruited by the mining sector is an essential strategy in addressing the looming skills shortage. MiHR partnered with Women and Mining Canada to conduct this study.
