As part of a commitment to education and career development within the mining industry, SRK Consulting, in partnership with Seabridge Gold, Geoscience BC, Seequent, and the University of British Columbia (UBC), organized a course that provided several benefits to aspiring geoscientists.
The aim of the course was to equip students with fundamental skills in constructing 3D models and understanding the responsibilities of a geological modeller, including effective communication with stakeholders and field teams. The utilization of Seequent's Leapfrog Geo, the industry-standard software, ensured that students gained essential tools for their future careers in the field of geoscience.
To further student engagement and enhance the learning experience, SRK and Seabridge organized an evening mixer. This event facilitated valuable discussions between industry professionals and students, enabling participants to explore diverse career paths and delve into general geoscience topics. The collaboration among Geoscience BC, Seequent, Seabridge Gold, UBC, and SRK Consulting allowed students to access the training course at no cost, which would typically be a significant investment. This collaborative effort exemplifies the shared dedication of industry and academia to invest in the future of geoscience.
Through these educational activities and strategic partnerships, SRK Consulting and its collaborators created an opportunity to nurture the talents and skills of aspiring geoscientists. By fostering a strong foundation of knowledge and providing access to industry-standard tools, these initiatives contribute to the growth and development of the geoscience field. They also ensure a promising and sustainable future for the industry as a whole, reinforcing the importance of continuous learning and collaboration in the geoscience community.
