Supporting our community.

Giving back. Helping our industry move forward.

Learning and education are at the heart of The MGT Way. That is why, in addition to nurturing the next generation of mining and geotechnical engineers, we support a range of educational initiatives in the community.

The programs and initiatives we support

The Smith Family - Learning for Life Program

Through no fault of their own, many children from low socio-economic backgrounds fall behind in primary and high school, precluding them from a university education. The Smith Family’s Learning for Life Program supports children and young people in their education, providing innovative, evidence-based programs and emotional, practical and financial support.

The students are from state schools, often in rural Queensland, and are the first in their families to attend tertiary education. So far, over 370 Young Achievers have accessed the program.
