The Australian Student Mineral Venture (ASMV) is a series of vacation programs held annually throughout Australia. The ASMV is an initiative of The AusIMM Education Endowment Fund (EEF) and is open to high school students in years 10, 11 and 12. These vacation programs allow students to find out about careers, lifestyles and opportunities in the minerals industry and investigate university courses that would suit their abilities and preferences in terms of subjects such as chemistry, physics, mathematics, geology and biology.
The ASMVs are fully residential and supervised, with an ASMV Administrator responsible for each Region's program. Students visit mine sites, university laboratories and other facilities, and have the opportunity to talk with graduates and industry professionals about courses and careers in the minerals industry, working conditions and prospects. Hands-on activities are emphasised, and student participation is required through various activities and projects. The ASMV programs highlight some careers that may be familiar to students and others that they didn't know existed.
