The recent article Graduate geoscience training in the workplace - how well is it working? by Dale Sims in the June edition of The AusIMM Bulletin is a timely reminder of the ongoing educational challenges our geoscience graduates need to overcome when entering the workplace. Against a backdrop of an aging workforce, declining productivity, greater pressures on time, greater expectation from employers and an expanding industry, graduates really are caught between a rock and a hard place. But the problem actually starts before the students reach the workplace.
