The Mallee and Wimmera regions are expecting strong growth in the mining sector with several mineral sands mining projects at various stages of development across the regions.
In 2024, $63,000 was granted to Sunraysia TAFE to help establish a partnership with Federation University and Bendigo Kangan TAFE along with industry experts to produce a mining skills workforce planning report, the ‘Mining skills navigator’.
The report will analyse skills supply and demand in Victoria's mining sector, aiming to bridge skill gaps and support workforce readiness for planned mining development in North, Central and Western Victoria.
