Mentorship has been identified as one of the most powerful ways to inspire the next generation of mining professionals. Since 2014, the Auction for Action has offered unparalleled opportunities for mentors and mentees to meet and develop professional relationships, which contribute to and strengthen the number of women in leadership positions in our industry. Women mentees can bid on a one-hour mentorship meeting with influential female and male leaders in the mining industry.

MENTEES

The “I Wanna Be Mentored” Competition

We created the “I Wanna Be Mentored” competition to remove entry barriers to mining and create opportunities for students to gain exposure to the industry. A female student is championed by an organization to bid on and be mentored by a mining leader of her choice. The financial contribution funds one-hour of personal mentorship time with the respective executive.
