Ngarda's National Mining Academy (NNMA)

NCM is in the process of establishing a National Mining Academy in the Pilbara and expects it to be operating in early 2007.

The NNMA will provide 16 weeks of learning for those who have no previous experience in the mining industry. The first 8 weeks will provide participants with a good understanding of mine safety, mining legal requirements, the environment, first aid and processes and documents that form an important part of the mining life.

Following this period, participants will then begin to operate mining equipment in an environment that is suitable for learning. You may commence operating a Water cart as you become comfortable with the size of the equipment and the requirements to operate them safely. This part of the program will last 4 weeks.

The final 4 weeks of your training will be in a fully operational mining environment. This will mean that you will attend pre-start briefings, operate the equipment operationally, have breaks with the rest of the crew and meet certain targets.

Conclusion

Working with NCM can be the pathway to a rewarding career and a very competitive salary, which can provide a better life. Ngarda Civil & Mining instils a culture of helping develop Indigenous Australians so that they can work in an environment that is safe, works hard yet enjoys the work that is done.

To provide 'wealth creation opportunities' for Indigenous employees, communities and other stakeholders, by being the most successful Indigenous owned and operated, commercial venture in the Pilbara Region and beyond'.
