The Minerals Council of Australia has forecast that the number of mining engineering graduates will fall from 171 a year to just 47 between 2017 and 2020 due to a decline in enrolments. However, the MCA’s modelling suggests that at least 200 new graduates will be required each year to offset the number of mining engineers who exit the sector. South32 CEO Graham Kerr and Newcrest Mining CEO Sandeep Biswas are among the industry executives who have expressed concern about the long-term impact of the decline in enrolments for mining-related university courses.
