Bill overview
The Critical Mineral Mining Education Act of 2026 aims to strengthen domestic mining education and workforce development by establishing two new exchange programs. The first, the Critical Mineral Mining Fellowship Program, will support U.S. students studying mining abroad, while the second, the Visiting Mining Scholars Program, will bring foreign mining experts to the United States. These programs are designed to address a significant personnel shortage in the U.S. mining industry, bolster the supply chain for critical minerals, and reduce reliance on foreign sources.
