About the program
The Queensland Future Skills (QFS) Partnership is led by BHP Mitsubishi Alliance (BMA) and includes TAFE Queensland and CQUniversity as education partners. The partnership has been working with industry experts, community organisations and government since late 2019 to fast-track responsive co-design and delivery of training to support the implementation of autonomous technology in mining.
These skillsets have been provided at no charge to participants through investment from the Queensland Resources Industry Development Plan as part of the Queensland Future Skills Partnership funded by BHP Mitsubishi Alliance.
We recommend nominating no more than one skillset per individual. Delivery dates and modes will be dependent on the review and award of EOI applications.
