enow World energy demand doubled between 1950 and 1970 and at present is doubling every 15 years. But Britain has enough coal under the ground to last at least another 100 years at the current rate of extraction. In the years ahead the Coal Industry will have the major role to play in providing Britain's industry with essential power. To help us in this important job we need many graduates of several disciplines to help organise and manage the business of coal. E N G I N E E R S - mining, mechanical and electrical engineers. MINING RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT ESTABLISHMENT-graduatesand post-graduates in Mechanical Engineering, Electrical and Electronics Engineering, Chemical Engineering, Metallurgy and Physics. COAL RESEARCH ESTABLISHMENT - graduates and post-graduates in Chemistry, Chemical Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Applied Physics
and Fuel Technology.
BUSINESS M A N A G E M E N T T R A I N I N G - g r a d u a t e s a n d postgraduates of any discipline capable of rising to the most senior posts in the industry. OPERATIONAL RESEARCH graduates and post-graduates with a numerical background. C O M P U T E R SERVICES-graduatesof any discipline. A C C O U N T A N C Y - graduates of any discipline - plus Maths at 'A' level. P U R C H A S I N G - graduates of any discipline looking for responsibilities in a department purchasing ÂŁ 3 2 5 million of goods and services every year.
