SkillsDMC Background
SkillsDMC is the National Industry Skills Council for the Coal Mining; Civil Infrastructure; Quarrying (Extractive);
Drilling; and Metalliferous Mining Industry sectors. SkillsDMC engages with enterprises and key Industry
organisations to ensure the greater use of the National Training System within an Industry led arrangement
where Industry is the client (demand side) and the training system is the provider (supply side). This
engagement is underpinned by SkillsDMC leadership on behalf of its Industry in ensuring training content;
delivery, flexibility and equitable public funding reflect the Industry needs.
SkillsDMC engages with enterprises and key Industry organisations in the Coal Mining, Metalliferous Mining,
Quarrying (Extractive), Drilling and Civil Infrastructure Industry sectors to:

Identify Industry’s skills needs via units of competency in the Resources and Infrastructure Industry
Training Package; and

Identify and plan for their current and future workforce needs.
These foundations set the direction for the response of education and training providers in meeting Industry
needs.
SkillsDMC plays an active role in workforce data gathering and on the basis of this Industry intelligence
provides guidance on how to gain the benefits of the Industry led, competency based, nationally recognised
vocational education and training system.
SkillsDMC applies best practice strategies in all aspects of contemporary workforce planning and development.
These practical strategies are supported with analytical tools and services developed by SkillsDMC in
consultation with Industry stakeholders.

preventing and minimising the production of pollution (e.g. discharges to air,
land and water, hazardous waste)
applying energy efficiency systems, action plans, surveys and audits
improving the company's operational energy consumption including stationary
and non-stationery (transport) energy
improving housekeeping (e.g. using a broom instead of a hose, using old rags
for cleaning instead of toxic cleaners or water)
substituting materials (e.g. replacing toxic, solvent-based coatings with waterbased ones)
changing processes (e.g. mechanical cleaning, redesign of products/procedures
so that materials are used more efficiently)
a sustainable business in this sense is profitable and competitive. Effective
management of environmental impacts and energy efficiency initiatives can
contribute to business sustainability by reducing costs, differentiating goods
and services and contributing to a better corporate image
