Quiz winning cohort of Belridge Secondary College students attend Rio Tinto Operations Centre! On Wednesday, 11 September 2024, four year 10 students from Belridge Secondary College attended Rio Tinto Operations Centre as the lucky winners of the quiz at Get Into Resources Inc. event that Rio Tinto sponsor. The students gained valuable insights into the mining industry and the technology driving its operations. During the visit, they learned about the importance of automation, sustainability, and remote operations in modern mining. Students had the opportunity to observe real-time monitoring of mining activities, explore career opportunities in the industry, and understand how innovation is shaping the future of resource management. The experience offered a hands-on glimpse into the cutting-edge practices used to improve safety and efficiency in mining operations. Students were provided with an insight into the extent of Rio Tinto's operations including a tour of the Operations Centre and career journey conversations with team members of the Operations Centre and discussions of future employment opportunities and as you can see in the attached photo, the students left the visit inspired and excited for what their futures could potentially hold in the resource industry. Get Into Resources Inc. is a unique careers event designed to showcase the resources industry. During this event, students were required to visit all exhibitors including Rio Tinto, answering quiz questions relating to the resources industry. Ashleigh Kersey was the lucky winner and chose the opportunity to attend the Operations Centre with three other friends and their careers advisor. Thank you Emily Kirkwood (RTIO), Kylie Walling for organising and Annjanette Engelbrecht and James Kelly for hosting. Thank you to Get Into Resources Inc. Committee Members for compiling the GIR Quiz!

The Get Into Resources Inc. team would like to extend heartfelt thanks to BHP for their generous Diamond sponsorship and invaluable contribution to the GIR event. Your support helped us create an engaging and educational experience for students, showcasing the exciting opportunities within the Resources industry. Many of the amazing BHP staff volunteered their time and attended Get Into Resources Inc. event, an annual careers event where high-school students from around Perth spend a day rotating across hands-on activities that show-case various aspects of the resources industry. This year, BHP presented an activity titled ‘Mining: the hidden backbone to modern living’ where students were challenged to connect rocks from assets to everyday items while the BHP team demonstrated why the resource industry is critical to our lives. The overall stand-out of the event was no doubt BHP’s ‘ice-cream booth’ – students were lining up to discuss how minerals are used and then rewarded with a tasty scoop of ice-cream from our indigenous provider 'Gather Foods'. Many stories were shared across the booth and activity about experiences in the resource industry, what pathways can be taken for entry and what 'industry life' is like in general. 🍦 Two of the BHP team were Guest Speakers on Wednesday: Prutha Shah and Jemma Hutchins, who shared their experience so far in the industry and how they came be to be here - many thanks for sharing your journeys so far. A fantastic event with great feedback from the students and schools - a huge thank you to all the volunteers who proudly represented the industry and made BHP stand out as an employer of choice. A massive call out to Prutha Shah, Voula Keating & Fiona Bodycoat for organising most of the BHP side of things for this outstanding student-industry event. Joshua Raines, Meena Natekar The Get Into Resources Inc. Committee are incredibly grateful for BHP's commitment to helping the next generation explore and pursue careers in this vital industry. Thank you once again for your partnership and support.

We’re thrilled to extend our deepest gratitude to Rio Tinto for their incredible support as a Diamond Sponsor of the Get Into Resources Inc. 2024 event! Your commitment to nurturing future talent in the resources sector is truly inspiring. A special shoutout to the Rio Tinto volunteers led by Kylie Walling & Analissa Yang who played a pivotal role in organising the Expo Booth and leading the hands-on careers activity of "Earth Detectives" that got the students to interpret the wooden drillholes and come up with their own interpretations of what the cross-section of the wooden model would look like - before finally opening up and revealing the "real" cross-section. Your expertise and enthusiasm provided the secondary students with invaluable, real-world insights into the Resources industry, making the event both engaging and educational. Special thanks to Jordan Seah for his keynote speech on engaging the students with short videos on the insights into the day to day tasks in the mining industry. Rio Tinto's contribution has made a significant impact, and we are immensely grateful for your partnership. Here’s to continued collaboration and inspiring the next generation of resources professionals together! Thank you once again, Rio Tinto! 🙌 #GetIntoResources #RioTinto #DiamondSponsor #FutureTalent #CareerInspiration #NorthMetropolitanTAFE Jordan Seah, Mehak Satnani, Anthea Simmons, Dhan Prabhu, Amir Cooper, Aish Khanna, Jade Palmer, Harrison Button, Jonathon Clark, Annjanette Engelbrecht, Anthony Dekuyer, Tonya Reineks, Jade Singleton, Alex Bozward, Lauren Harding, Michelle Hoad

Last month, I was pushed far beyond my comfort zone... I'm used to sitting in a recording booth with unlimited attempts when speaking, but this time I had to complete a single 10-minute take with no breaks! I had the incredible honour of serving as the Keynote Speaker on Day 3 for Get Into Resources Inc., where I had the privilege of inspiring over 200 secondary school students by sharing my short but diverse experience in Rio Tinto's graduate program. My objective was to encourage the youth to pursue a career in mining through testimony of the amazing experiences I've had so far. I truly believe that the mining industry can enable people to live exciting and wonderful lives. Thank you to everyone who made this event possible, from the organisers (Dhan Prabhu, Jade Singleton, Holly Allday ACSM , Alex Bozward, Amy Lowe) to the Rio Tinto staff that presented Earth Science activity & organised Rio Tinto booth for engaging with students (Anthea Simmons, Kylie Walling, Analissa Yang, Aish Khanna, Jade Palmer, Harrison Button, Jonathon Clark, Amir Cooper) to event volunteers to the teachers who accompanied their students. A special thanks to Paul Goldie for providing the video footage and audio 🙌 Thank you for this opportunity to speak and I hope we continue to make a positive impact on the next generation! 🪨⛏️

What an incredible day! Yesterday, I had the privilege of escorting Year 10 students through various sessions led by professionals from the resources industry at the Get Into Resources Inc. event. Sadly, none of the students in my group expressed interest in pursuing a career in the resources industry when asked at the start of the event. I anticipated a challenging day ahead, hoping to convince at least a few of them of the industry's immense opportunities. However, as the event progressed, it became clear that the GIR event and the dedicated industry professionals were the true influencers! The sessions were informative, engaging, and fun. The presenters were so compelling that I even considered returning to a FIFO role or exploring a new profession myself! By the end of the day, the students' perspectives had significantly shifted, with many now considering careers in the resources sector—a tremendous win for our industry. While it's tempting to think our work is done, this event highlighted to me that the younger generation still lacks adequate knowledge about our remarkable industry. Ensuring that teachers, coordinators, and students are well-informed about the diverse opportunities available in the resources sector is crucial for attracting smart and passionate recruits in the future. As Jade Singleton aptly stated in her opening speech, "If you can’t grow it, you have to mine it." There will always be a demand for what we provide. We must intensify our efforts to reach the next generation and their mentors to guarantee our industry's growth and sustained success. If anyone has any more opportunities for myself and others to lean into sharing our industry with others, please reach out! Thank you to everyone who coordinated the GIR event, it was truely an awesome experience!
