Connecting with students and jobseekers is a great way to give back to the industry and inspire students to think more deeply about their goals for the future. Students are interested in having authentic conversations with those actively working in our gold industry. GIG has plenty of resources to help guide conversation, and we do suggest bringing along a colleague or two, particularly for large events, to share diverse perspectives and ensure meaningful engagement. Members can also take advantage of the fact that GIG handles all the setup and pack down— all you need to do is show up with a pull-up banner, relevant materials, and your team ready to connect and share insights with attendees.
There are some Frequently Asked Questions below for more information.
Frequently Asked Questions
