What is the Generic Induction Program?
Until recently, the mining industry financed significant duplication in the induction training to industry contractors as they moved from one site to another.
In collaboration with the mining industry, the Mining Industry Skills Centre in it’s original structure as the Queensland Mining Industry Training Advisory Body developed the Generic Induction (GI) training program to standardise the training to non-permanent mine-site workers.
Launched in 1997 it is now being delivered across Queensland and has recently been launched in New South Wales. In 2006 the University of Queensland reviewed the Program and a revitalised GI and GI Refresh Program was launched in 2007.
Five Generic Induction Programs have been designed to cater for the specific needs of the individual industry sectors. These include:
