Mining occupies a significant place in
Australias economy. In the last four years
alone, Australias mining industry has generated
over 117.6 billion worth of exports. For that
reason, many Australians as well as foreign
workers from countries like the Philippines,
China and India have explored the numerous
opportunities provided by Australias mining
industry.

Similarly, mining traineeships and
apprenticeships have become increasingly popular
and abundant in Australia. There are a lot of
opportunities for trainees and apprentices in
Australias diverse mining industry. In order to
be a mining trainee, there are a couple of
requirements that need to first be met. Of
course, a mining trainee should finish 
4
Year 10 in their secondary education and possess
a desire to learn and explore the ins and outs of
the mining industry. Mining traineeships involved
rigorous physical labour hence, it is necessary
that aspiring trainees meet certain fitness and
health requirements. In addition to the basic
education and fitness requirements necessitated
by most mining companies, there are also several
other qualifications that should be fulfilled
depending on the location and company guidelines.

 Mining is a very diverse field and therefore
provides a great number of different types of
employment opportunities. Some of the most common
mining traineeships entered by aspiring miners
include those in the field fitter and turner
apprenticeships, heavy vehicle fitter and of
course, boiler maker apprenticeships.
6
A mining trainee can choose among those three
primary fields. Fitter and turner apprenticeships
and traineeships involve the technical know-hows
on fixing machinery and tools used in mining
while a heavy vehicle fitter involves the
mechanical skills needed to repair and run large
trucks used in mining.
7
On the other hand, boiler maker traineeships and
apprenticeships are those that are directly
related to mining. Boiler maker trainees are
those who directly work in the mines and search
for precious metals and other natural resources.
8
 A mining trainee in the said traineeship field
is usually at a greater risk compared to those in
the fitter and turning and heavy vehicle fitter
traineeships and apprenticeships thats why
additional requirements and more comprehensive
physical exams are necessitated for trainees who
aspire to enter the boiler maker traineeship
field. Before getting your feet wet in the field
of mining, you should first research on the
training company youre applying and determine
exactly the duties and responsibilities in line
with the traineeship position.
