A GOLD MINE OF OPPORTUNITIES
In the first half of 2024, mining generated more than 218 direct jobs and impacted 2,5 million people throughout the production chain. With competitive salaries, such as an average of R$ 13.800 per month for mining engineers, and attractive benefits packages, the sector is highly sought after by students and experienced professionals. In addition to stability, mining offers space for technological innovation and sustainable development, factors that are shaping the future of the industry.
Therefore, it is crucial to invest in the professional development of educators, especially in technological education and applied research. This alignment between innovation, education, and sustainable practices will be fundamental to maintaining Brazil's global competitiveness in the face of the sector's major challenges. Opportunities are numerous, including the possibility of international careers and new roles linked to sustainability and ESG (Environmental, Social, and Governance).
With US$64,5 billion in investments projected through 2028, the mining sector continues to grow, attracting talent and establishing itself as one of the most promising areas for those seeking professional development and social impact.
