Surviving the Downturn
AIG's Western Australia Branch, in response to the dramatic downturn in geoscience employment as a consequence of the downturn in global economic activity, the difficulties faced by companies raising capital for exploration and the failure of the Australian Government to act decisively support Australian geoscience by implementing measures to help sustain resource exploration in Australia, held a timely and interesting seminar intended to provide geoscientists facing employment difficulties with helpful and practical ideas to help them survive n difficult times.
The information presented at the seminar by professionals from a wide rang of fields remains just as relevant today.
Videos of talks presented by selected speakers and their presentations from the seminar are are available here.
