Women in LeadershipWomen in Mining Leadership and Statutory Appointment
Progression in mining runs through legal appointments that require specific certificates and documented experience, which means a career is planned years ahead or it stalls regardless of performance. This course maps that route. Delegates work through the appointment structure and the qualifications and experience each level demands, planning to acquire the tickets and the underground time required, and the personal legal liability that attaches once appointed. Managing a production team and holding a schedule are covered. Being the first or only woman at a management level is addressed frankly, including the scrutiny that comes with it. The course closes on moving from operational management into general management and on the sponsorship that decides who is considered.
