Mining Engineer Competencies for an Innovative Economy

Abstract

One of the features of modern mining is its focus on the development of human resources. The high level of labor productivity, as the main factor in the efficiency of mining enterprises in the context of heightened competition in the mineral resources market, brings to the fore the assessment of the state of human potential and its use with maximum efficiency. Consequently, the successful operations of a mining enterprise largely depend on how effectively its human potential is used. To achieve high results of work, a competently built personnel policy is required, one of the key tasks of which is the selection and placement of personnel. As practice shows, the shortage of qualified mining engineers and the growth of their cost in the labor market can become one of the key factors hindering the development of business in the field of mining.
