The Australasian Institute of Mining and Metallurgy (AusIMM), the peak body for professionals in the resources sector, has just signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with the Global Mining Association of China.
The MOU signing, which took place at the China Mining Conference and Exhibition 2018, is a landmark development for Chinese resources professionals. The partnership allows Chinese professionals to gain access to Australian professional development and mining credentials.
With a focus on enhancing excellence in the resources industry, the MOU is set to provide members of both organisations with opportunities for networking, access to key industry events as well as world-class seminars and training.
AusIMM CEO Stephen Durkin commented that the MOU showcased the international collaboration taking place in the mining industry when it came to best practice.
“Sharing knowledge and professional development opportunities is core business for the AusIMM,” Mr Durkin explained.
“Ensuring that the workforce of the future across Australasia is equipped with the resources and tools to be adequately credentialed and educated by Australian standards brings enormous opportunities for national and international investment as well as for professionals,” he said.
