There’s an old saying that charity begins at home. With an increasingly disconnected mining workforce, Miners’ Promise proves just how true and immensely valuable it is.
Each Wednesday, join me, Peter Finn, managing director of FACE Contracting, as I navigate the ups and downs of the mining industry with forward-thinking professionals from all walks of life. If you’re involved in the mining industry in any way – whether you’re a lifer or a high-school student looking to make the leap – Full Production is the podcast for you.
