Energy Resources of Australia (ERA) is proud to support school leavers and other local people to learn skills and gain accreditation to enable them to enter the workforce or find new local employment.

One initiative ERA supports which is delivering fantastic results is the Pre-Employment Program.

The latest round of program participants have just completed five weeks of classroom based theory and practical training on site at the Ranger uranium mine, coming away with a Certificate II – Resource Infrastructure Work Preparation (RII20115) accreditation, which includes a Certificate in First Aid and for the first time Forklift licencing.
