Gold schools program
The Gold Industry Group and member Earth Science Western Australia have united to bring support for Earth and Environmental Science education to New South Wales secondary school students, in an innovative approach through online learning.
This builds on the existing partnership between both organisations, who have been collaborating on furthering gold education since early 2018.
The Gold Industry Group (GIG)’s school program has expanded to inspire the next generation of gold industry leaders, by providing free, interactive gold demonstrations to primary and secondary students across Australia.
Developed in conjunction with Earth Science Western Australia (ESWA), the one-hour sessions are delivered by passionate gold industry professionals and incorporate STEM (science, technology, engineering and mathematics) learning through a hands-on activity that replicates common-place scenarios within the gold sector.
The Gold Industry Group (GIG) welcomes its newest member Teach Learn Grow (TLG) in preparation to join forces on a new gold education project to be integrated into TLG’s 2019 Rural Program.
Sponsored by GIG members TLG’s flagship Rural Program addresses educational disparity by empowering rural and remote Australian students to realise their full potential.
