Regional Development Australia Yorke and Mid North’s innovative flagship Heavy Industry Multi Skills program provides tailored solutions to address barriers to employment for local jobseekers. The unique partnership between prominent employers representing the mining, manufacturing, construction and engineering industries offers a one-of-a-kind opportunity to a simulated industry environment, providing necessary accredited and non-accredited training and mentoring supports required for successful workforce transitions.

The program will be delivered in Port Pirie and provide job seekers with a diverse range of skills, experience, and support across a range of trade and heavy industry sectors, to ensure the region has a pool of work-ready people to meet the current and future workforce needs of these sectors. Job seekers who successfully complete the course will have the skills required to commence entry-level positions including labourers, operators, apprenticeships, traineeships and trades assistants.
