cases are defined: the pessimistic, the moderate, and the optimistic. The
“pessimistic” considers only employability in Large Scale Mining (L.S.M.)
and its suppliers, or “x1”, i.e., the data of demand contributed by the study
of Labor Competences of the Mining Council, which have been projected
in Figure 4. The “moderate” considers that beside Large Scale Mining there
is an equivalent in middle-scale and small-scale mining plus others, which
can contribute twice, or “x2”, of the contribution of Large Scale Mining
to employability. And the “optimistic” considers that beside Large Scale
Mining there is an equivalent in middle- and small-scale mining plus
others which can contribute three times, or “x 3” of the contribution of
Large Scale Mining in terms of employability. In this way, this scenario can
be graphed considering 40% and 50% retention in the offer of graduates
with respect to registrations in first year, and considering a Pesimistic (x 1),
Moderate (x 2) and Optimistic (x3) demand, as shown in Figure 4. It has
been estimated that 40% and 50% retention in the offer of graduates with
respect to registrations in first year is a most realistic scenario. All this is
graphed in Figure 4.
