What is the role of the Mining Industry Skills Centre?
Formally known as the Queensland Mining Industry, Training and Advisory Board (QMITAB) the organisation was relaunched in 2006 as a centre for excellence and renamed the Mining Industry Skills Centre Incorporated. The Mining Industry Skills Centre is a Queensland based, not-for-profit organisation that partners with industry and informs government to maximise the skills of workers in the resources industry to assist in the sustainability of the industry. Initially formed as a collaborative venture between the mining industry and Queensland Government, the charter of the Mining Industry Skills Centre has grown to focus on the whole industry and works with mine-sites across the country on training initiatives. The Mining Industry Skills Centre has the charter to ‘assure the timely development of a sustainable, skilled workforce aligned to the industry’s requirements’.
