Speaker at Sudbury mining conference says shortage of skilled workers in mining could be at least partially resolved by hiring more people with disabilities
The shortage of skilled workers in the mining industry could be partially resolved by hiring more workers with disabilities. That was one of the messages put forward Monday at the Mine Operators and Maintenance Engineers conference, hosted by the Sudbury branch of CIM .
"Those that specifically target and recruit people who have disabilities will be accessing a large untapped talent pool," Doyle said. Doyle set out to address common myths about such things as work performance, attendance and safety. Doyle said that there are studies as well as anecdotes that disprove the myths. Safety is a key consideration, he said. Doyle said workplace accidents happen when people stray away from procedures and take shortcuts.
