Global mining services provider Thiess has partnered with The University of Queensland (UQ) to co-design three new post-graduate qualifications to provide specialised training in mining disciplines and elevate the standard of mining education.<\/p>\n
With two graduate certificates and a graduate diploma in resource development on offer, the program is tailored to engineers who want to gain formal qualifications in mining through real world, on the job learning.<\/p>\n
Thiess Operations Director \u2013 Australia East Peter Rule said: \u201cThis partnership brings together Thiess as a leading mining services provider and UQ as a world class tertiary educator to deliver academically recognised qualifications for engineering professionals wanting to convert across from non-mining disciplines to the mining industry.<\/p>\n
\u201cOur inhouse learning and development centre, Thiess Institute, and our experience Technical Services professionals, have worked with UQ to shape and influence course content along with developing a flexible learning model to allow students to continue to work in the industry full-time while advancing their formal mining qualifications.\u201d<\/p>\n
Participants will gain advanced technical knowledge and practical skills directly applicable to the mining industry, learning from industry experts in a blended approach of remote and on-the-job learning, and on-campus intensive training.<\/p>\n
As stated by Professor Ross McAree, Head of UQ\u2019s School of Mechanical and Mining Engineering:\u00a0 “This collaborative initiative with Thiess represents a transformative approach to mining education, bridging the gap between academic knowledge and industry expertise. By co-designing these specialised post-graduate qualifications, we’re not just teaching mining disciplines \u2013 we’re developing the next generation of industry leaders who can drive innovation, safety, and sustainability in resource development.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
