About

The Mining Industry Human Resources Council (MiHR) is proud to present the Mining Needs You Virtual Career Fair!

This event is made possible thanks to the support of the Mining Needs You coalition of partners: the Mining Association of Canada (MAC), World Gold Council (WGC), Prospectors & Developers Association of Canada (PDAC), and the Canadian Institute of Mining, Metallurgy and Petroleum (CIM).

From exploration and extraction to milling and fabrication, minerals and metals are vital to our lives today—and to the sustainable future we’re building for tomorrow. Join us on November 24 and 25, 2025, where employers, recruiters, academic institutions, and industry leaders will connect with students and job seekers, offering exciting opportunities for work placements and careers in Canada’s mining sector!
