Missouri S&T is among the universities included in a new $100 million federal initiative designed to strengthen the U.S. critical minerals workforce.
The U.S. Department of Energy announced the Providing Opportunities for Specialized Education in Critical Technologies initiative Friday, Aug. 7.
The program aims to double the number of graduates nationwide in mining, minerals and related technologies within two years. Funding will support scholarships, curriculum development, teaching tools and other efforts to increase the number of students pursuing degrees in mining-related fields.
