You may be thinking about what you want to do when you finish high school and start down a path to your career, but you may not have thought about where you could actually work. The modern minerals industry is broad-based, multi-disciplinary and requires individuals with vastly different talents and skills.
MREPBC works with high school career facilitators to find placements within the BC minerals industry for students who are enrolled in Work Experience or career-focussed co-op programs. If you would like to venture into the minerals sector for your work experience, ask your teacher to contact MREPBC Director, , 604-681-4321 ext 115.
For more information on Work Experience Placements go to our Geoscience and Mining Careers section. You can also direct your teacher or career counselor to the Career Educators section.

MREPBC Secondary Students Day at Roundup 2012
For the nineth year in a row, MREPBC hosted a careers exploration day for secondary students at Mineral Exploration Roundup - this time on Monday, January 23, 2012. Every year, the MREPBC extends a special invitation to all secondary students interested in learning more about the modern minerals industry and careers it offers. Some of our special invited guests this year were students from Ms. Jennifer Artibise' Geology 12 class at West Vancouver Secondary. Their geology projects were on display in the main tradeshow exhibit area.
