The call for young people to consider employment in the mining industry is timely, given the sector’s need for expertise to achieve net zero emissions by 2050.
The Federal Resources Minister, Madeleine King, urged young Australians to consider employment in the mining industry to assist in the global decarbonisation efforts. Reaching net zero emissions by 2050 would require the expertise of the resources sector and Australia's commitment to this goal means that more mining, rather than less is required.
According to Techforce, the sector is actively contributing to a sustainable future and young people should consider careers in geoscience, geophysics, chemistry, metallurgy and engineering to aid successful decarbonisation efforts worldwide.
Despite the growing concerns among younger generations about the impact of climate change, gas remains a critical element in processing critical minerals and manufacturing batteries for renewable energy storage. Consequently, Australia's coal and gas resources will continue to play an essential role in ensuring energy security and reliability for many years to come.
Techforce says because future prosperity depends on the resources sector, urgent action is required to effectively communicate its story to younger Australians. The mining sector is committed to environmental sustainability and is actively working to reduce its environmental footprint with significant investments in technologies such as renewable energy and minimising impact on water resources and land use.
For young people interested in pursuing a career in mining, Techforce says there are several job opportunities available. Rigger jobs, for example, involve setting up and maintaining equipment on mine sites. Chef jobs are also available in the mining industry, with opportunities including FIFO chef jobs Perth wide. These jobs offer young people the opportunity to work in a dynamic and exciting industry while contributing to a sustainable future. Techforce says mining jobs offer a wide range of benefits including excellent pay and conditions and opportunities for career advancement.
