S-IMEW has had a profound impact on my career and in none of the ways I expected. The friendships forged with my workshop colleagues has been a a true gift professionally. Beginning my career with that strong network of peers already in place lead to professional opportunities I could not have anticipated and am forever grateful for.

As a mature student returning to school after two decades proved to be rewarding. My nomination to be part of S-IMEW came as a surprise, which I graciously accepted. The industry experts you meet on this excursion will help your future career. The other winners of the program in 2010 were fantastic and their diversity and receptiveness made the experience a success for all involved.

S-IMEW is an incredible and unique experience I have yet to encounter anywhere else in the world and one that helped solidify my career as a geoscientist. Not only did it afford an incredible networking opportunity, S-IMEW introduced me to aspects of the business and practical side of the industry that I had not been exposed to previously. I also developed a number of fantastic relationships with fellow geoscientists from all over Canada who I run into everywhere in the world. The geology community is small and to have been given an opportunity to meet so many amazing people has been fantastic for me and will no doubt help enhance my career.

S-IMEW helped me become more confident with applied aspects of geology through field trips, mine tours and mapping exercises. At S-IMEW I was exposed to aspects of geology that I did not learn at university and I really enjoyed discussions and networking opportunities with fellow students from across Canada.

I have a full two-weeks of fond memories in my head, but the contacts and friendships I've made at S-IMEW are what's the most important. Nowadays, a career in the mining industry is based on your business contacts, and S-IMEW gave us this opportunity to meet important players in multiple domains of the industry. I knew I wanted to be a geologist, and I now I'm really sure it's the place I want to be! By doing this workshop, PDAC reaffirms it's position as a leader in the mining industry and every past and future S-IMEW'ers are grateful for this opportunity.
