‘It is very important that you only apply for positions that are suitable for your skill level,’ WorkPac told The Townsville Bulletin.
‘This is because your safety is our number one priority and we must ensure that anyone we place on a mine site is not exposed to any risk due to inexperience.’
This being said there are many courses available which can help you to upgrade your skill set and qualifications.
Additionally most mine sites require a physical fitness assessment and a drug and alcohol test – so laying off the beer and hitting the gym will help your chances.
Indigenous youth aged 16-25 are currently invited to register their interest in a program run as a partnership between the Johnathan Thurston Academy and Australian gold mining company Evolution Mining.
The program will allow access to education and employment opportunities at four of Evolution’s mine sites.
