A ROADMAP FOR MINERALS PROCESSING EDUCATION



            Ÿ All of industry runs on budgets and priorities, so major programs need
              support of upper levels of management including those who manage
              budgets.
            Ÿ There is also a tendency for cost-cuts to technical education first, while
              safety and management training programs remains.
            Ÿ Many companies only do on the job training, which is often ad-hoc and
              limiting for graduates. A structured program of graduate development
              is important.
            Ÿ Although there are many examples of high quality, properly resourced
              graduate development programs within the minerals industry, there
              are many others which are ad-hoc at best and non-existent at worst,
              leaving graduates on their own to sink or swim in their professional
              roles.
