TRADES 

Mineral Resources Visit.

Year 12 Trades students were fortunate this week to be visited by Mineral Resources representatives to discuss their 2025 Apprenticeship program.

Mineral Resources is a leading mining services company with a growing world-class portfolio of mining operations across multiple commodities, including iron ore and lithium throughout Western Australia. 

The Year 12’s were given a clearer insight into the apprenticeship program; designed to be an opportunity to build experience in the mining industry through structured workshops and site-based training. Over four years participants earn a nationally recognised trade – with dedicated leadership and guidance to help grow their skills and experience with an agile mining company.

A special thank you to Mineral Resources, Emily Pettitt – Learning and Development Superintendent and her team for their visit.

Judging by the questions at the end of the presentation and the interaction with the students on the tour through the trades workshops, students were highly engaged and gained valuable insight into the opportunities in the mining sector.

It was wonderful to hear second-year apprentices Henry Pratley and Alex McLarty, who graduated from College last year, speak so confidently and fondly about their selected career pathways with Mineral Resources.
