Training & Personal Development at Mineral Resources

Not a lot of internal development however if there are training courses that will improve your ability in a space relevant to the your role and business needs, MRL will sponsor this.

The graduate programs are tailored to each business area. There is an emphasis on how each learning outcome fits into the business as a whole. I've picked up key skills such as drafting basic contracts and, analysing data to identify opportunities, liaising with business stakeholders and understanding their needs.

I have only been at the company for a short amount of time, but I understand there are a number of training and development programs available to staff in particular roles within the business. I predominantly receive on the job training directly from my manager.

They usually give a project to you and teach you step by step. This has been the case when I have learned: it design, ramp design, waste dump design and D&B design.

Training has been lacking both formal and informal.

The training I received was both relevant and applicable to my position.

There are lots of online inductions. There was a two-day induction at the beginning of the program which was a good opportunity to meet the other graduates. There were also sessions on goal setting which was difficult before we knew what our job roles actually were.

The learning and development team put a lot of effort into the graduate program. They have organized sessions where senior leadership and past graduates have provided insights and advice to current graduates about their careers. The company has also provided study assistance for me to pursue post graduate qualifications related to my current role.

So far I haven't received any formal or informal training. However, more experienced workmates have taught me how to use the software and they have shared resources (books, papers, opinions) with me. Skills that I have picked up: - Seismic interpretation. - Programming skills. - Play mapping and exploration strategy.

The training program is extremely efficient and they make sure your out doing what's required as soon as possible in the safest way. There are still some processes that are being redefined, but that's how are company improves.

I have been through lots of training, inductions and on the job training as well. And it's also possible to request more training.
