EGRU Professional Development Program

The EGRU professional development short course program was created in collaboration with industry professionals. The program aims to provide high quality training in core and applied geoscience skills suitable for professionals ranging from early career to highly experienced geoscientists.  Since its inception in 2018 the program has provided training to geoscientists around the world.

The courses are delivered by highly experienced industry and discipline specialists.  All courses are interactive. Most are delivered online, some are offered as in-person courses on campus, some are field-based, and some can also be delivered in-house and tailored to meet requirements.

If you would like further information about the EGRU short course program, if you’re interested in running a short course in-house, or would like to be added to our mailing list to stay informed about upcoming short courses, please email EGRU_training@jcu.edu.au.
