Two exceptional students—Siti Khadijah Yusni and Elizabeth (Lizzie) Shepherd—attended the recent WA Mining Club luncheon. Siti, who won the IGO-sponsored Mining Engineering scholarship, and Lizzie, the recipient of the Centrals-sponsored Environmental Science scholarship, are recognised as part of the WA Mining Club’s ongoing commitment to the next generation of leaders within Western Australia’s mining sector.
Every year, the WA Mining Club, in collaboration with industry co-sponsors, offers a range of scholarships aimed at developing the skills and leadership qualities required in the mining industry. These scholarships provide crucial support to undergraduate students pursuing studies in mining-related fields, from engineering and environmental science to geology and other critical areas. The Indigenous Upskilling scholarship further broadens access by offering opportunities for education that may not necessarily be tertiary-degree based.
The scholarships offered by the WA Mining Club are designed to align with the evolving needs of the industry. They are regularly reviewed and expanded to ensure they remain relevant and reflective of the diverse skills and expertise required by today’s mining sector.
For students like Siti and Lizzie, the scholarships not only provide financial support but also offer industry exposure and networking opportunities. The WA Mining Club is proud to contribute to the professional development of young talents who will help shape the future of the sector.
As the demand for skilled professionals in the mining industry continues to grow, the WA Mining Club remains committed to nurturing and empowering students through these scholarship opportunities. By investing in education today, we are building the leaders of tomorrow.
