In this episode, we chat to Darren Stralow, Chief Development Officer at Northern Star, an Australian gold producer with Tier-1 world-class projects located in highly prospective and low sovereign risk regions of Australia and North America, and who have a portfolio of low-cost, high-grade underground gold mines, and who are listed on the ASX.  We talk about the key attributes and major differences about degrees in the past, to the new degrees that should be taught now and beyond, and why and how we can improve the image of mining with the younger generation. KEY TAKEAWAYS  The whole mining industry got a wake-up call last year, when there was a sudden and drastic drop in enrolments for mining engineer positions in Australian tertiary institutions. There used to be over 200 mining graduates per year from Australian universities. In 2018, there were under 40 first-year students enrolled in the entirety of Australia. For an industry that contributes so much to the Australian way of life, this was alarming. Automation, digitisation and electrification are all advances that are changing the face of the industry. But we must never lose sight of the fact that this is primarily a people business, and that people can never be replaced. The scientific basics of engineering, mining methods and technology, should form the core of all mining education, as well as the licence to operate, and how mining contributes towards society. We need to show that the industry is progressive. It’s not just digging holes. There are other focus points, and a universe of pursuits that can range from everything from health to science.  .BEST MOMENTS ‘We obviously haven’t done ourselves any favours in terms of perception of the industry’ ‘We were doing something wrong when it came to attracting people to the industry’ ’The industry has been changing in recent years’ ‘We can’t lose focus on the fundamentals’ VALUABLE RESOURCES   Dig Deep – The Mining Podcast on iTunes Darren Starlow will be speaking at the upcoming IMARC Conference in Melbourne from 29-31st October where he will be doing a presentation around “The Mining Engineering degrees of the future: How these must differ from the past and include new and relevant skills”.  Dig Deep has partnered with the International Mining and Resources Conference event in Melbourne where global mining leaders connect with technology, finance and the future.
