Rio Tinto Limited has selected Schrole Group Limited to provide on-the-job (OJT) training programs in Western Australia (WA) for approximately $655,500 from July to December.
Schrole will provide 47 OJT training programs across Rio Tinto facilities in WA, which will be consistent with the course delivery in the previous corresponding period.
Schrole Develop, the company’s department that creates accredited training solutions to meet specific client needs, will implement the programs.
Schrole has been working with Rio Tinto in Australia and globally since 2007 to develop and deliver contextualised courses for its staff.
Previously, the provider of global human resources (HR) software-as-a-service provider created and implemented training programs for other Australian mining companies such as BHP Group Limited and Fortescue Metals Group Limited.
Commenting on the move, Schrole Managing Director Rob Graham said the demand for minerals that Rio Tinto mine is increasing, making it important for the mining company’s staff to be well-equipped with the knowledge and tools to support its clients and keep supply chains running smoothly across various industries.
“Schrole Develop is a central component of our full-suite HR talent management solution that we offer clients. Training is one of our two sources of revenue from our full-suite HR talent management solution and the OJT programs we deliver for mining companies is a core part of that revenue,” he added.
Graham noted that the team knows Rio Tinto well and will use their experience to create bespoke programs for Rio Tinto’s staff.
