The WAIMM groups provide the relevant platform for skill enhancement and knowledge sharing where specific professionals in the core sectors of the mining and petroleum industry meet, network and discuss pertinent and pressing specific issues in their field of practice.
The Membership Committee (MC) of the Council is responsible for approving members into the institute. Membership admission usually takes between 4 to 8 weeks and is supervised by a membership committee made up of both industry and academia that goes through the stringent processes of ensuring the right criteria and full qualifications for admissions are met.
The MC reports to the Council and is chaired by a member of the governing council. It is composed of 15 members from the industry, academia and research consisting of both council and non-council members. At least 5 of the MC members must come from the governing council membership.
Our focus is to provide career and professional development to advance the knowledge and skillset of students, academia , industry professionals, and companies in the resources sector by creating the platform where they can access new and emerging advancement in industry practices.
