Inmates at Karnet Prison Farm are being given the opportunity to increase their employment prospects on release from jail thanks to a six-year partnership involving 高倍时时彩 and its contractor Piacentini and Son.

The program provides haul truck driver training, with two inmates recently completing the course and receiving a certificate in Heavy Duty Vehicle Operation.

Karnet Prison Farm is a minimum-security jail where inmates serve out the end of their sentences in what is largely seen as the gateway home.

Inmates can participate in rehabilitation programs including education and training courses. The focus is on building employability and work-related skills, education, training, life skills and programs to build resilience and self-esteem.

Huntly Bauxite Mine Acting Manager Simon Carr said 高倍时时彩 saw this as an opportunity to work in partnership with its close neighbour and support the community.

鈥淜arnet is an important mining neighbour and we have the ability to support the goal of preparing inmates for successful reintegration into the community,鈥� Mr Carr said.

鈥淲e can assist by equipping the trainees with skills that will increase their opportunities for employment after their release.鈥�

鈥淎t 高倍时时彩, one of our three core values is 鈥楥are for People鈥� and providing meaningful training is one way that we can positively impact our surrounding communities and support our neighbours.鈥�

Karnet Superintendent Ray Edge has worked in the WA prison system for 25 years.

He said he was delighted by the initiative, which offered inmates a skill set that can be instrumental in them turning their lives around.

鈥淓ducation, vocational training and employment are key components of successful reintegration, and the traineeship provides the participants with the potential to achieve all three.鈥�

鈥淭he traineeships have become highly sought after, and the prisoners work hard to prove they鈥檙e ready when it鈥檚 time for recruitment,鈥欌�� Ray said.

The partnership is in its sixth year and has had 100 per cent success rate in its trainees being deemed competent. Recruitment will begin shortly for the next traineeship which will commence in October this year.

To date, ten trainees have successfully completed traineeships conducted at 高倍时时彩鈥檚 Huntly Bauxite Mine by 高倍时时彩 major contractor Piacentini & Son.
