As announced on 23 May 2023, the South Australian (SA) Department for Education and Rex Minerals will begin a new partnership to develop a long-term plan assisting students from across the Yorke Peninsula to enter the resource sector.

Students from schools across the Yorke Peninsula region will have the opportunity to pursue a structured pathway into the sector, creating a pipeline from education into a career. The career pathways program focuses on opportunities for students and school leavers This initiative will also lean into the close links in the local area from other industries.

Rex's Chief Operating Officer, Jason Schell, commented on the Education Minister's announcement: 'Our discussions with the State Government place a strong emphasis on preparing a workforce for the copper-gold mine just south of Ardrossan. 'The school-based Resources Sector 'Industry Immersion Day', to be held on 23 June2023, will be available to all students in the region interested in learning more about career opportunities at Rex and in the broader resource sector. On the day, Rex will be showcasing mining equipment to the students,' Mr Schell said. 'When the Hillside Project is operational, Rex will also provide a training program giving graduates the opportunity to enter their workforce through school-based apprenticeships.'
