Minerals Ed for potential Engineering, business students

MineralsEd 2013 Secondary Student Day at Roundup

Jan 28, 2013Location: Mineral Exploration Roundup 2013, Westin Bayshore, Vancouver

For the tenth year in a row, MineralsEd is extending a special invitation to secondary students interested in learning more about the modern minerals industry and careers it offers. Special invited guests will be students from Ms. Jennifer Artibise' Geology 12 class at West Vancouver Secondary. Their geology projects will be on display all week.

Students from other secondary schools are invited them for this unique learning opportunity. Students who can benefit most from the experience have an interest in geoscience, mining, or engineering, or broadly in indirectly-related fields as varied as business and accounting, investment banking and securities, environmental consulting, back country expediting, etc.

The all day program (9am to 3pm) include presentations by young people who are working in different capacities in the industry in the Vancouver area, as well as a career-focussed exploration of the trade show exhibits, and hands-on gold panning with Yukon Dan. Students are accompanied during the day by BCIT, SFU, UBC, UVic, U of A, and other post-secondary geosciences and mining students, as well as MineralsEd staff. These student guides share insights on their backgrounds and learning or work experiences in their minerals related career.
