Commitment to Education

A well-educated and skilled workforce is the bedrock of any thriving industry, and Nevada's mining sector, as the state's original STEM industry, is no exception. With a storied history spanning over 150 years, mining has continuously relied on its workforce's innovative problem-solving abilities. In the contemporary mining landscape, cutting-edge technology and equipment demand a workforce equipped with 21st-century skills. The Nevada Mining Association and its dedicated membership are fully committed to nurturing the success of Nevada's students. This commitment extends from supplying the raw materials essential for school construction and technology devices to active engagement in career-oriented initiatives, teacher workshops, and substantial investments in K-12 education. By bridging the divide between education and industry, we are diligently preparing our students to not only meet but also excel in the ever-evolving demands of the modern workforce, thus fortifying Nevada's position as a leader in the mining industry.
