This study delves into the intricate relationship between professional identity (PI) and sustainable competence among students pursuing mining-related degrees. It emphasizes the crucial role of behavioral engagement as a mediating factor in this dynamic. As the mining industry faces increasing scrutiny over its environmental impact, fostering a strong professional identity within students is essential for promoting sustainable practices.
The research highlights that students who actively engage in their professional identity are more likely to develop competencies that align with sustainable development goals. This engagement not only enhances their academic performance but also prepares them for future challenges in the mining sector. By focusing on behavioral engagement, educational institutions can better equip students with the necessary skills and mindset to contribute positively to sustainability efforts in mining.
Ultimately, this study underscores the importance of integrating professional identity development into mining education, ensuring that future professionals are not only skilled but also committed to sustainable practices.
