No Hard Hat Required: Women + Mining Course
An accessible 8-week learning experience for women ready to understand the hidden industry behind everything — no technical background required.
Ever wonder where your smartphone actually comes from? Or what makes electric cars possible? The answer lies beneath our feet in an industry most of us never think about: mining.
If you're picturing environmental damage and dangerous working conditions, you're thinking of mining's past. The mining industry has undergone a dramatic transformation over the last century. Modern mining operations use cutting-edge technology, prioritize environmental stewardship, and employ sophisticated data analysis to extract the materials that power renewable energy, medical devices, and the digital revolution. This isn't about pickaxes and hard hats anymore — it's a high-tech sector that quietly powers every aspect of our modern world.
This 8-week course provides a solid foundation for asking informed questions and gaining a deeper understanding of this fascinating industry. You'll gain enough knowledge to follow industry conversations, understand basic concepts, and recognize opportunities — all while building confidence to explore further if this world interests you.
