Furthering its constructive links with the mining industry, Â鶹ֱ²¥ of Technology\u2019s Western Australian School of Mines (WASM) has established a memorandum of understanding with Paddington Gold Mine.<\/p>\n
To be signed at Diggers and Dealers annual mining conference by Curtin Vice-Chancellor Professor Jeanette Hacket and Jon Price, Paddington General Manager, the agreement establishes cooperation in education, professional development, and research and development between WASM and Paddington.<\/p>\n
\u201cThis agreement will help create the opportunity for more projects, providing students with better chances of securing work experience,\u201d Professor Hacket said.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe signing of this agreement formalises and improves the School\u2019s existing links with industry and locks in practical applications for what students learn in the classroom.<\/p>\n
WASM Director, Professor Paul Dunn, said the agreement would ensure that students receive the very best in vocational education and experience unparalleled links with industry.<\/p>\n
\u201cAn important part of attending WASM is the knowledge that you will receive real exposure to the mining industry,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe do our best to ensure that as many students as possible receive vocational training and have the best chance possible of finding employment when they graduate.<\/p>\n
\u201cSome of the mine\u2019s staff already lecture at WASM and collaborative research work in metallurgy is already underway.<\/p>\n
The agreement will provide Paddington with the opportunity to work with WASM students, giving the company the chance to identify graduates that would suit its workplace.<\/p>\n
For Jon Price, WASM graduates make a great addition to the organisation, with a significant percentage of Paddington\u2019s professional and managerial staff already coming from Curtin.<\/p>\n
\u201cThis agreement builds on what is already a strong relationship,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
\u201cIndustry and educational institutions must work more closely together to provide the combination of academic excellence and practical hands-on experience. We will be providing real time data for students to use and this can be followed up with site visits to the actual mine being studied.<\/p>\n
\u201cThere is no better place than WASM to introduce students to the mining industry and we must ensure the school has a sustainable future, building on its unique world class learning environment.\u201d<\/p>\n
Paddington, a wholly owned subsidiary of Norton Goldfields, operates the 3.3Mtpa Paddington mill with underground and open cut mines in close proximity to Kalgoorlie-Boulder.<\/p>\n
