Local young people seeking an outdoor lifestyle and variety in their job should consider gold mining. To get a job requires basic English, ability to work in a team, self-motivation and being safety conscious. A young person’s life experience or previous work experience such as retail, hospitality or farming are skills and knowledge that translate to mining. School leavers, young people having a gap year can aspire to fill these jobs.
Golden Camel also has jobs in technical mining and engineering that require tertiary qualifications and experience. These jobs will attract people to the Nagambie region or locals who wish to return after university or working in mining elsewhere.
