AUSTMINE WOMEN IN STEM: METS CAREER PATHWAY PROGRAM
Student Intern Positions | Applications close 25 September 2017
The Austmine Women in STEM: METS Career Pathway Program is supported by METS Ignited, the Federal government’s growth centre for METS.
The mining equipment, technology and services (METS) sector employs more than 350,000 people across Australia, and is an exciting, agile and innovative sector. Over the coming years, as the entire mining industry turns more to digital technologies, whilst being faced with more remote and hard to access resources, the METS sector needs more employees with STEM qualifications than ever before. Individuals with mathematics, engineering, computer programming, technology, metallurgy, geology and all sciences will be in demand.
Austmine is the leading industry body for the METS sector here in Australia, and we champion innovation, collaboration and the next generation of skills for our industry.
THE PROGRAM
The core component of the program is a 10 week, paid internship with a METS company. Successful applicants will also receive access to online training and coaching webinars, a social media community and associate Austmine membership for a year. The internship will take place from December – February.

Please note, Engineering does not require an engineering specific degree, but a degree relevant to the topical area. Engineering is a term used for such a large range of positions. Engineers Australia explains “the term 'engineering' covers many fields and, by extension, many skills. Engineers are scientists, inventors, designers, builders and great thinkers. They improve the state of the world, amplify human capability and make people's lives safer and easier.”
