Glencore Coal Australia’s Indigenous Employment Pathways Program is structured to provide participants with the experience and job-readiness skills for Indigenous Australians who live in or have connection to the areas where we operate in Queensland and the New South Wales Upper Hunter areas.

Program structure
The program is broken into two phases:
- Phase 1 - provides participants with back-to-work skills, mine site compliance safety training and a range of life skills
