Completing the 2019 Bureau Veritas Graduate Program exposed me to many different areas of the Minerals Laboratory testing process, from sample preparation all the way to the QA/QC of ICP-MS data and reporting results to the clients. It helped me gain the technical and organisational skills I needed to move into a Laboratory Management position.
