Resumen

The rapid advancement in the mining industry poses challenges for educational institutions in training professionals who meet market demands. This study evaluates how demand will increase in key mining areas by 2030, applying the CTWF method based on Gray systems theory. Through surveys of international professionals, ten criteria were identified, highlighting growth in Artificial Intelligence, Robotics, and Cybersecurity. On the other hand, a smaller increase is expected in Finance and ESG (Environment, Social Responsibility, and Governance). These results will guide the PUCP Mining Section's Career Committee in updating the curriculum to align with the sector's future needs.
