Day 3 at Indaba was enlightening! Attended a thought-provoking conference session on academic improvements needed in African universities to support technological and sustainable leapfrogging in Africa. One key takeaway: To excel as a mining engineer, emphasis on soft skills is crucial. Moreover, making the mining industry attractive through entrepreneurship initiatives akin to the IT domain can help attract talent. Experience is also paramount for new graduates, underscoring the need for expanded mining engineering programs.
