That is a very good question.
Several ongoing projects are attempting to determine the reasons that prevent us from eliminating the obstacles to the promotion of women. Of course we would like to have more resources to promote the industry to young people, women and aboriginal persons. We have to wonder whose responsibility that promotion rests with. Does the industry have the responsibility of doing its own promotion, as a choice employer? Must the government play a role in the promotion of sectors or professions in demand in our society? There is room for everyone.
Our council receives direct support from the mining industry and the federal government. A lot of our career promotion projects were set up in partnership with the industry and the federal government. It is a model that functions very well and allows us to receive resources from industry and the government so as to knock down the barriers that exist.
