The Long-Term Program for Coal Sector Development until 2030 involves construction of new mines in new areas and advancement of operating mines at the highlevel reliability and safety of mining based on the application of new coal production and dressing technologies. These objectives are impossible to meet without the purposive replenishment of personnel by means of attraction of young people and gathering highly qualified staff to be provided with traineeship at the leading research centers and production companies within the coal mining industry. This article reviews the priority lines of the job market monitoring, as well as the key stages and information blocks of the staffing monitoring based on the related procedure. It is necessary to develop a coherent regional system of building up personnel reserve in the coal mining industry for a long-run period. These activities should be based on the improved implementation of principles of planned management over the staffing potential in the coal sector. To meet the requirements of coal mining companies, it is necessary that the secondary- and higher level education personnel training structure and the number of graduated specialists having intent to work in the coal mining industry match the industry needs. These needs should be determined in accordance with the science-based methodology of the sectorial manpower policy monitoring. The authors put forward suggestions on the formation of the regional staffing support monitoring in the coal sector for the medium- and long-run periods and propose the forecast of the engineering manpower needs in the coal mining industry. The regional monitoring of the wanted manpower includes the analysis of change in the structure of jobs and skills in the discussed branch of industry. The upturn in the coal sector or the new personnel policies of the government and companies will improve the sectorial staffing efficiency.

These studies have been carried out under the Presidential Grant: Governmental Regulation of Differentiation of the Economic Territory with the New Regional Policy Tools, Grant No. MK-831.2017.6.
