Following two rotations, each participant is offered a full-time position within the Kinross global organization for two years, with the opportunity for placements in both corporate and mine site locations.

Generation Gold provides participants with a wide variety of enriching work opportunities, during which time graduates experience the “full picture” of gold mining in a global environment. A senior Kinross employee mentors the participant at each location, providing ongoing direction, expertise and accelerated development.

Generation Gold offers new graduates with a highly competitive total rewards package and the most relevant work experience for developing career opportunities, including assignments that are diverse, international, and cross-functional. It also helps graduates secure credits towards various professional designations, such as P.Eng.

The international experience, intensive technical training, career development opportunities, and exposure to a variety of projects and mine operations, make the Generation Gold program an ideal opportunity for recent graduates; it is the springboard that can set careers in motion, and accelerate them.
