Rain, hail, shine or coronavirus - the MEC Graduate Program still thrives!
The MEC Graduate Program has continued despite the current restrictions of the COVID-19 virus. Principal of Learning & Development, Loren Ager and Brisbane based MEC Graduates Zhongwei Wang, Ivy Pan and Leandro Nunes have continued to contribute to the business by working from home.
The MEC Graduate Program provides our Graduate Mining Engineers with a wide range of professional development tools and industry opportunities. The program also enables graduates to develop a solid foundation and prepare themselves for their journey from Graduate Engineer to emerging professional and beyond.
