About Mining Technology / Technician Colleges:
The need for safer, more efficient mine operations is driving a demand for more skilled mining technicians. A day's work for these technicians can involve many different technical duties---surveying, monitoring and testing ventilation equipment, updating mine layouts using computer-assisted design (CAD) equipment, maintaining safety equipment, and ordering safety supplies. Some technicians also serve on mine rescue teams and advise government agencies about mine safety regulations. In addition to engineering and technical skills, a graduate also needs a working knowledge of geology and earth sciences.
