The Mining Skills Organisation Pilot (MSOP) was created as part of the Australian Government vocation education and training system reform. The pilot consisted of four project hubs designed to meet the skill needs of the mining sector: Digital Transformation | Apprenticeships | Attraction & Retention | Qualifications Reform Trials.
Attraction & Retention
The fourth project hub of the Mining Skills Organisation Pilot (MSOP) was Attraction and Retention: getting new people into the industry and retaining the good talent. The first step was workforce planning, and this was an exciting project. The first phase of this project was to define capability sets for three occupations in the mining industry. These were for a diesel motor mechanic, miner and production manager.
The next step was to validate whether these capability sets for these occupations actually matched industry demand for these roles. Each of the capability sets also identified hard skills and what we might know as soft skills so those things like teamwork, language, numeracy, enterprise, those kinds of things. The second phase was to develop a pathways map. The talent pathways map would enable anyone in any industry to see how they might fit into the mining industry and what skilling, re-skilling or up-skilling they might need to do.
The next phase is to work with the National Careers Institute to develop a mining portal so that these careers can be showcased. The Fundamentals of Modern Mining Skill Set was developed with a TAFE partner, TAFE Queensland. The six online modules that form this Modern Mining Skill Set encompass people, technology, value and supply chains, technical transformation and environmental and sustainability topics. The Fundamentals of Modern Mining Skill Set were designed for school students, graduates, existing workers and also transitioning workers to get a better sense of what modern mining is.
The Fundamentals of Modern Mining Skill Set has been piloted across the nation and school students and existing workers participated in that pilot. If you're in school or an existing worker in the mining industry and would like to take the Fundamentals of Modern Mining Skill Set contact TAFE Queensland.
