Future mining leaders

Orica recently announced a strategic relationship with the Mining, Metallurgical, and Materials Engineering Department of the University of the Philippines Diliman College of Engineering.

Through the signing of a memorandum of agreement, this partnership has led to the creation of a special scholarship program for select mining-engineering students.

Under the program, underprivileged students are granted scholarships to complete their education.

This effort is one of many initiatives Orica has taken through the years to help shape a new generation of mining engineering graduates, who will have developed an in-depth knowledge of how to sustainably mobilize earth's resources and attain a positive and prosperous future through the efforts of Orica's diverse global team of thought leaders.

Orica Philippines' country director Gordon Wallace: "At Orica, we recognize the power of people when it comes to leading change. As we continue to develop our digital and automated technologies, our partnership with the University of the Philippines is a testament to our commitment to pioneering innovation."

Through the network and opportunities Orica offers students under the program, it aims to support the next generation to grow, spark and shape a more sustainable future for the industry and the world.
