It involves the assigning of young university graduates by the Ministry to the private mining company where they are given the chance to advance their experience in the technical and practical aspects of the mining profession. “My plan was to be a mining engineer; not just to go to school but to be a piratical mining engineer. So, with this job I am happy that I’m practicing my filed of studies,” says Fatumata Binta Barrie, 36, who is the only female amongst the four recently employed by Liberia’s first industrial gold mining company. Andrew Jusu Hina, 30, is a 2017 graduate of the University of Liberia who also worked briefly as a volunteer with the MME before he was also seconded at the mining company. Kollie assured that he and other engineers will continue giving support to young Liberian engineers to help them advance their professionalism.
