GTO Approach to Training

In today’s fast-paced and competitive industries, particularly in mining, warehousing, and mining support services, developing a skilled workforce is essential. At Blackstone Services, we are more than just a provider of training – we are a dedicated Group Training Organisation (GTO) committed to building lasting skills that drive individual and organisational success. Our approach to training is underpinned by a deep understanding of industry demands and a focus on creating meaningful career opportunities, especially for Indigenous communities.

Incorporating Sustainability in Training

At Blackstone Services, we recognise that a one-size-fits-all approach does not work in industries as dynamic as mining and warehousing. That’s why our training programs are customised to meet the specific needs of our client companies. By aligning our curriculum with the demands of these industries, we ensure apprentices and trainees receive hands-on, relevant, and industry-specific knowledge.

Our training modules are designed to equip participants with the technical skills and practical expertise required to excel in their roles. From mastering the operation of heavy machinery to understanding advanced warehousing protocols, our programs prepare participants for the realities of the workplace while maintaining the highest standards of safety and efficiency.

Ongoing Guidance and Support

The journey of learning does not end with training. At Blackstone Services, we take pride in providing continuous support to apprentices and trainees throughout their development. Our dedicated team of mentors and trainers works closely with each participant, offering personalised guidance, constructive feedback, and assistance in overcoming challenges.

We collaborate with leading industry organizations and ensure our training programs meet recognized certification standards, enhancing their credibility and relevance to industry needs.

This hands-on support not only helps individuals adapt to their roles more effectively but also builds confidence and fosters a growth-oriented mindset. By nurturing talent in this way, we help create a workforce that is not only skilled but also motivated and resilient.

Fostering Indigenous Talent

A core element of our GTO strategy is empowering Indigenous communities through education and employment opportunities. We are deeply committed to increasing Indigenous participation in the workforce, especially in the mining and construction sectors. By providing training programs that integrate cultural awareness with technical proficiency, we strive to bridge the gap between opportunities and achievements for Indigenous Australians.

Our programs are designed to create sustainable career paths, helping participants build skills that not only serve them professionally but also benefit their communities. This focus on Indigenous empowerment reflects our dedication to social responsibility and our respect for the traditional owners of the land.

Employment Management for Peace of Mind

One of the key advantages of partnering with Blackstone Services is our ability to manage the employment aspects of apprentices and trainees. As a GTO, we handle wages, superannuation, tax compliance, and other legal requirements. This allows client companies to focus on their core operations while benefiting from a trained and compliant workforce.

Our structured internship programs ensure participants are not only paid fairly but also gain valuable real-world experience in a supportive environment. This combination of training and employment management makes us a reliable partner for businesses across Western Australia.

Conclusion

Building skills that last requires more than just technical training – it demands a holistic approach that considers individual growth, industry needs, and community impact. At Blackstone Services, our GTO programs go beyond basic education, fostering a skilled and empowered workforce equipped for long-term success. Whether it’s through tailored training, ongoing support, or a commitment to Indigenous empowerment, we are dedicated to shaping the future of the mining and warehousing sectors, one skilled worker at a time.
