OREANDA-NEWS. Rio Tinto is backing the Your Life campaign which aims to raise awareness of science and maths amongst young people in the UK and encourage more students to consider these subjects for study at school and university.

Group executive, Legal, External & Regulatory Affairs Debra Valentine said "Rio Tinto is a company that has called London home since 1873 and we have always looked to the UK's unrivalled reputation as a global centre of excellence in mining, engineering and science to support and develop the business. By sharing our expertise and profiling the experiences of some of our best and brightest graduates across the world, I hope that we can inspire today's teenagers to see science, engineering and technology as subjects that can lead to exciting and worthwhile careers."
