Additional Information
In May 2006, Xstrata opened a new vocational and trade-based training facility in Mount Isa. The Xstrata Skills Centre consists of a series of lecture facilities and four training workshops: a metal fabrication workshop; fitting workshop; electrical workshop; and a diesel workshop. The centre will be used as a training facility for current employees, while also providing new career opportunities for people within the region. In 2006, Xstrata welcomed 96 apprentices to its Mount Isa Mines operation and anticipates apprentice intake will increase significantly from 2007.
