Career Pathways
What is the Career Pathways Project?
The Mining Industry Skills Centre is working with the industry to present clear and defined career pathways for various job roles to:
Assist in attracting potential employees to the mining sector
Maximise the available talent pool; and
Assist in the retention of employees by providing career progression
The Career Pathways Project works towards achieving Goal 2 identified in the Mining Industry Skills Strategy.
The Career Pathways Project has worked with industry bodies and commercial organisations to identify 48 critical job roles according to the industry skills shortage, and the most effective way of attracting employees to these positions. It is the intention to share this information industry wide.
