The Entrepreneurs' Programme is an Australian Government initiative to promote business competitiveness and productivity by providing support to SME's that want to improve performance or drive growth. The program involves one-on-one assistance in a range of areas including business strategy, financial advice, commercialisation and development, operational procedures and supply chain facilitation.

Innovation is critical to the mining equipment, technology and services (METS) industry and will secure the sustainable future of mining. There is a need to foster individuals who truly embrace and champion innovation. In response to this need, Austmine has developed the Austmine Innovation Mentoring Program.

The program is designed to shape the numerous skills required for innovators to succeed in today’s fluid market environment. The mentoring sessions will guide participants’ general understanding of innovation, including ideation, strategy, commercialisation and implementation. Personal development, career enhancement and skills growth are the major goals of the program for participants and also for our mentors.

Austmine is delighted to announce our latest initiative, the Women in STEM: METS Career Pathway Program. Supported by funding from METS Ignited, this program aims at raising awareness of METS and the career opportunities provided by our sector, across women studying STEM subjects at universities.
