April tech talk: Meet the resource professionals
Join Sydney Branch and WIMnet NSW for their April tech talk: Meet the resource professionals.
About this event
This Sydney Branch monthly event brings together students and experienced professionals from across the global resources industry to share insights, career journeys, and opportunities in the sector.
Several senior industry professionals will speak on a panel and discuss their career paths, the challenges and opportunities they have encountered, and the many directions a career in the resources industry can take. The aim of the talk will be to give students the chance to hear first-hand experiences and gain a better understanding of the diverse opportunities available—particularly as the industry evolves to support a decarbonised future.
Following the panel discussion, attendees will have the opportunity to network directly with professionals from a range of disciplines, including metallurgy, geology, geochemistry, mining engineering, and other resource-related fields. This provides a valuable chance to ask questions, build connections, and learn more about potential career pathways in the industry.
Industry professionals are warmly encouraged to attend and participate in the networking session. Your experience and insights play an important role in supporting the next generation of resource professionals, while also providing an opportunity to connect with peers across the industry.
During the evening, we will also take a short break in the program to recognise student achievement, with a brief awards presentation for outstanding students from the School of minerals and energy resources.
