FAQs

What subjects should I take in Grade 10–12?

The best subjects depend on the career you’re interested in, but Mathematics and Physical Sciences open the widest range of opportunities in mining. Many engineering, geology, metallurgy, environmental and technical careers require these subjects. English is also important, while subjects such as Engineering Graphics & Design (EGD), Information Technology, Computer Applications Technology (CAT), Accounting and Business Studies are useful for specific career paths.

---

What if I don’t get a bursary?

Don’t give up. Impala also offers learnerships for technical trades and a Graduate Programme for students who have completed their qualifications. You can also study independently and apply for graduate or advertised positions when you meet the requirements.

---

Can girls work underground?

Yes. Mining is open to both men and women. Women work underground and on surface in engineering, geology, mining, metallurgy, environmental management, health, finance, human resources and many other careers. Impala encourages applications from suitably qualified candidates regardless of gender.
