The mining industry requires not only well-educated geoscience professionals who are able to discover and examine new deposits in a variety of geographical environments, but also those who have the practical skills to ensure safe and sustainable development projects. This webinar will discuss the technical and soft skills required in an ever-developing mining industry. We will discuss aspects, such as academic education, geotechnical skills, best practice mentality, and commitment to environmental protection and safety at work, as well as practical logistics, teamwork, and communication skills.
