WIM USA : BRIMM Alliance

Since 2020, the Bradshaw Research Institute for Minerals and Mining (BRIMM) at the University of British Columbia (UBC) has been offering classes toward a Microcertificate in Economic Leadership. The 4-month, 4- course program teaches core business skills for interacting with major technological, economic, and sustainable innovations inside the mining industry. The programming is unique, and is based on live discussion and debate. Taught by experienced professionals from the mining industry, it teaches how to structure and present an economic case for projects using sustainability, mineral processing, exploration and financial modeling tools.

BRIMM has had 69 graduates receive the Executive Microcertificate in Economic Leadership in Mining. The program has had huge success in the minerals and mining industry and has awarded more than 500 scholarships to students across 49 countries.

BRIMM has a commitment to diversity, inclusivity and equity in both academic and corporate spaces. The program seeks to increase enrollment for historically disadvantaged communities, including women, people of color, indigenous descendants, tribal descendants, and people with disabilities. The team believes that by advocating for gender equity and local empowerment, the program increases the enrollment of historically marginalized professionals in the industry.
