Participating in the forum will provide an opportunity for your company to contribute to industry-wide objectives which aim to:
• Increase awareness of the range and diverse university and VET career pathways available in the resources sector.
• Promote the benefits and opportunities for females working in the resources sector.
• Dispel myths about the industry; and
• Build networks and mutually-beneficial partnerships between industry and school communities.
During the forum students will have the opportunity to:
• Hear inspiring, female, industry guest speakers.
• Participate in a fun, hands-on, resources related activity.
• Take part in a ‘speed careering’ session with multiple resource companies; and
• Interact with industry representatives.
It is expected the students and their accompanying school staff member will leave the careers forum with an enhanced understanding of the industry and will be inspired to promote this within their circles of influence.
CME hopes your organisation can support this important initiative to highlight the career opportunities in the resources sector for women.
