The Mining and Manufacturing Career Awareness Program (MAMCAP) is a tailored initiative developed by the Tasmanian Minerals, Manufacturing and Energy Council (TMEC) to help students explore career opportunities across the Mining and Manufacturing sectors.
Aligned with the Australian Secondary School Curriculum, the program includes an engaging presentation followed by a hands‑on activity showcasing the wide range of careers and pathway options available in these industries.
Schools can choose Mining or Manufacturing, or a presentation combining both. The program is designed for years 9 -12 students.
If you’re a student interested in a career in Mining or Advanced Manufacturing, speak with your teacher about organising a presentation from TMEC.
