Hi, when submitting your application, if you don't have any mining experience, make sure you highlight the other things you do, any part time roles or extra curricular activities. All this makes your application stronger.

Hi Kate. Thank you for your answer. However, all my extra-curricular and part time job are not related to the field. Would these be a problem?

Hi Kishore, it would certainly strengthen your application but it is not a requirement, we provide all on the job training.

Not at all Kiensheng, it does not need to be related to mining.

But I have done my final year project related to digital twin of 3D geological model using Gempy which is a bit different from leapfrog. Would this make my application stronger?
