Career Exploration of the Minerals Industry Begins Next Month
SD 83 Grade 10-12 students have an opportunity to learn more about mining and exploration careers through a series of events starting next week and ending in late May.
For the fourth year in a row, MineralsEd, in conjunction with SD 83, will host a province-wide, virtual panel of young mineral industry experts sharing their stories of how they got into the industry, education and training they received and what their job involves, among other topics. The panels range from geologist and environmental scientists to drillers and trades people and other careers in between. The session is open to any Grade 10-12 students interested in careers involving the earth, technology, working with their hands and/or being outside!
Interested students can register through the career coordinator or clerk at their neighbourhood high school. The virtual session will be broadcast on Thursday, April 10th .
There will be two other field trip opportunities taking place in the month of May in Kamloops. SD 83 students can visit a natural resource sciences faculty and trades centre at Thompson Rivers University on May 7th while the Mining Industry’s Next Explorers or MINE Conference will take place May 21st. More details about both events will be released next month.
If you have any questions connected to this event or the series, please contact George Richard via text or phone at 778-824-1188, email grichard@sd83.bc.ca or please reach out to your high school’s career coordinator or clerk.
