:: JKMRC joins Spanish Revolution

The Julius Kruttschnitt Mineral Research Centre has taken the initiative to run Spanish language courses for their professional staff in response to a growing demand for consulting and research services in South America.

So far 20 staff members involved in research, consulting, marketing and communication at the JKMRC have undertaken the first phase of an introductory Spanish course, organised through the University of Queenslands Institute of Modern Languages.

IML tutor Ms Anna Gonzalez, centre, provided JKMRC and JKTech staff with the theory
and practice of Spanish during the first introductory phase earlier in 2002. From left are
