"Training for indigenous people in the Goldfields has stepped up a gear thanks to a new $500,000 mobile skills training facility. Training Minister Peter Collier today visited Curtin Vocational Training and Education Centre (VTEC) in Kalgoorlie to view the new mobile unit, purchased as part of a $2million State Government initiative to provide skills training for indigenous people in regional and remote areas of Western Australia.“The unit will be taken to communities where a trainer will teach indigenous people pre-apprenticeship skills in mining, building and construction trades, as well as job readiness, literacy, numeracy and health and safety,” Mr Collier said."
