The Focus on Mining program consists of residential camps that provide an opportunity for students to explore career and study pathways in WA’s resources sector. During the camps, students tour mine sites and meet role models in industry.
The Focus on Mining Camps are five-day residential camps for high school students to experience what it’s like to study and work in the mining industry in WA. Students will get to tour mine sites, participate in hands-on workshops and meet industry leaders. The program targets students in Year 11 or 12 who have an interest in science or engineering, and would like an introduction to the mining and resources sector.
Students from throughout WA are welcome to apply and support is available for regional students to take part.
