New to Mining
There is currently no short course or seminar that supplies enough information to allow the average person with no mining experience navigate the difficulties of getting their first mining job.
The seminar contains a history of the industry, explaining where the boom time jobs have been in the past and where these jobs are now and into the future. Covering how best to present a mining friendly resume.
The work is out there, I helped a young guy here in Perth last week. After following the courses I recommended, he got a start as an underground truck driver. You can make this work for you, follow the link to find out more.
Do it yourself
There are 4 online courses that a Western Australian company has produced. These courses have been designed to make a student ready for what they were going to have to go through in the first 6 months of their mining career. I recommend you do these courses in order to get your mining knowledge up to speed.
When you go to site part of the training is on the surface in the class room. The rest is conducted on the job, normally by a senior crew member. The courses that I recommend contain both the surface and on the job training, they use the WA mining Act as the standard in explaining all tasks/jobs/skills.
If you can tell an employer how you are going to water down a heading or scale a wall in an interview, then employers hire. Follow the link and find out more about how to, do it yourself
