Employee Development
NRW remains focused on the attraction and retention of quality employees and provides its people with development opportunities at all levels by encouraging access to high quality training and development.
There is an excellent up take of training opportunities with strong participation and progress by our work-force towards formal qualifications in the form of the Certificate II in Metaliferous Mining as well as the Diploma of Management and Advanced Diploma of Management. These qualifications are encouraged by our Health Safety, Training and Environment department and are open to all employees.
NRW has implemented several Indigenous training programs including “Power Up” in conjunction with the Department of Education, Employment and Workplace Relations. The “Power Up” program provides training and employment opportunities for long term unemployed. NRW also conducts Cultural Awareness Programs for all employees and sub contractors. More information on NRW's Indigenous Affairs.
We continue to provide the nationally accredited Certificate II in the Metaliferous Competencies to all our operators. Hundreds of NRW employees have successfully completed the ‘Five Core Unit’ workshops and now have a nationally accredited qualification for the plant which they operate. This programme has proven very popular with NRW employees with many having attended the courses in their own time.
NRW introduced the Diploma of Management for all Managers and Supervisors and to date approximately 90% of our management teams have been through the first of four modules. This Diploma has been specifically tailored to train our management team in the management of our business and thus far there have been many positive outcomes displayed by participants.
