"Energy Minister Francis Logan launched a new program to train members of remote Aboriginal communities to assist in the management and maintenance of their own power systems. Mr Logan said the innovative Aboriginal Communities Training Program would help avoid long delays in maintenance and ensure communities were supplied with safe and reliable power supplies. He said the program would also offer a unique employment opportunity for Aboriginal people interested in attaining nationally recognised qualifications within the electricity supply industry."
