RMIT University School of Engineering TAFE has been awarded a $900,000 contract to deliver instrumentation training to Xstrata and Stanwell's Mt Isa operations.
The 17-month contract involves up-skilling 28 existing workers at the mine and two from the nearby Stanwell power station at Mica Creek.
More than a third of the funds, $310,000, is being provided by the State Government's Skills Queensland because of a skills shortage for electrical-instrumentation recognised in the Federal Government's National Skills Needs List.
