Thanks to this alliance, we partnered with a sister project Artemisa Mining Challenge, which aims to bring employment opportunities to women engineers. International recruitment is one solution to the labour shortage we have been experiencing in recent years and for Eldorado Gold Québec, it is an opportunity to foster a diverse and inclusive workplace.
In 2023, our Lamaque team sponsored two female engineers from Chile. They speak both Spanish and English and participated in French language classes for nearly a year to ensure they had a foundation prior to arriving at site. Our team in Québec participated in cultural awareness training and welcoming foreign worker training guidance to help ensure a warm environment.
