Are you having trouble hiring qualified geoscientists to fill open positions, particularly at the intermediate level? Our profession has a labour market problem – many highly experienced professionals are nearing retirement and there are many young and eager practitioners. Still, there is an experience gap that needs to be closed. Our industry is poised for growth, but our human resources aren’t going to keep up unless we do something to bridge the gap. This session covers three areas of focus to help bridge the gap:  integrating new professionals, retaining and engaging existing professionals,  and mentoring to fast-track upskilling.
