Basic Mining Skills: Preparing Job-Ready New Starters

Training new workers for high-turnover roles like Offsiding, Nippering, Service Crew, and Truck Operation can be challenging. That’s why we offer online courses designed to bring new starters up to speed on essential underground mining tasks.

Our courses help employers onboard new starters more efficiently, ensuring they are already familiar with industry standards and operational methods. Many graduates have successfully secured jobs and progressed through the ranks—some reaching key roles such as Jumbo Operator.

To ensure the right fit, we recommend testing candidates on basic mining knowledge during interviews.

• If they answer mining questions correctly and meet other hiring criteria, they are likely to succeed in the role.
• If they struggle with the questions, they may not yet be ready for the job.

This approach has helped many mining companies identify qualified new starters quickly and effectively. We hope it serves your hiring process just as well!
