Students at Nurunderi College at Cherbourg recently brushed up on their domestic skills to open a pathway to employment in the resources sector.<\/p>\n

The Southern Queensland Institute of TAFE delivered the five-day Housekeeping and Camp Attendant training in partnership with Employment Services\u00a0Queensland.<\/p>\n

The students achieved entry-level qualifications which will enable them to work in mining camp\u00a0accommodation.<\/p>\n

The course covers room cleaning, workplace health and safety, and food hygiene.<\/p>\n

The practical component was completed at the Murgon City Motor Inn where the students spent several days learning how to reset rooms.<\/p>\n

SQIT will be running several more of the courses over coming months.<\/p>\n

“The skills the students were learning are transferable between different types of\u00a0accommodation\u00a0from mining camps, to motels, hotels and resorts,” Murgon City Motor Inn manager\u00a0Brad Fogarty said.<\/p>\n

“With the Motor Inn being flat out with fireman occupying rooms during the bush fires and now road\u00a0contractors\u00a0staying in the region repairing flood damage, we were happy to help the TAFE students experience the daily operations of a busy motel.”<\/p>\n

TAFE Hospitality Teacher Jason Ford said the students enjoyed a real “hands-on” experience.<\/p>\n

“They learned valuable skills that will help them take advantage of the booming mining sector, via the services industry.<\/p>\n

“Most people think of mining jobs as driving trucks, diesel fitting or welding, however there is a wealth of positions also available in hospitality,\u00a0camp operations,\u00a0accommodation\u00a0services\u00a0and cleaning.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n
