The Gold Industry Group is proud to support Get Into Resources 2018, a unique careers event designed to showcase the resources industry to secondary school students.

Industry professionals volunteer their time to present hands-on, interactive activities which highlight just some of the over 150 different career opportunities available in the resources sector.

How does it work?

Students are organised into small groups of around ten. This allows or the creation of an engaging and personal experience for everyone who attends the day. Students’ progress through a series of activities from a range of different resource-related disciples to fully immerse them in the opportunities the resources sector offers.

Students

The resource sector offers well paid jobs with great career progression and travel opportunities. By coming along to Get Into Resources with your school, you will be involved in:

  • Learning more about resources careers from people who actually do it every day
  • Hands-on activities providing an immersive and practical experience
  • Finding out about a range of technical, professional and trade roles available (both VET and ATAR pathways)
  • Interacting with people who love what they do in the resources industry.
  • Making quality contacts for the future.


Teachers

The resources industry provides a stunningly wide spectrum of rewarding workplace opportunities for professionals, technical and trade workers. Most often, students are unaware of the variety of positions available and the pre-qualifications they need to enable their resources industry career pathway to commence. Get Into Resources had been primarily developed to assist Year 10 students with making informed decisions about their senior school subject selections.
