Scholarship program opens door to mining industry
Thiess has offered five undergraduate students in Indonesia the opportunity to pursue a career in the mining industry as part of our scholarship program.
Led by the PINTAR Sub-Committees of the Indonesian Diversity and Inclusion Working Group and Thiess’ Learning and Development team, the program focuses on increasing female participation and achieving a 1% workforce participation of people with a disability.

“We received over 1,000 applications and through a rigorous selection process, we chose five undergraduate students to take part in the program,” Rosita said.
