In 2018, supervisors from our Industrial & Waste Services (IWS) teams across the South West region successfully completed the Cert IV Leadership & Management Traineeship program with all participants graduating and achieving career progression. Recently another opportunity was identified to upskill an additional group of our IWS supervisors in the region.

On 14 January, the first session of the traineeship began with eight eager participants, excited to be given this opportunity to start their learning journey.

We also have two other cohorts working towards achieving the same Cert IV Leadership and Management Qualification in South Australia and in Western Australia. Both of these cohorts showed resilience and patience when their professional development was put on hold due to the impacts of Covid-19. With all delays behind them they are all set to graduate in November and September respectively.

This course has become quite prestigious, with our personnel all very appreciative of the opportunity. The course runs over a 12 month period, typically covering one unit per month to allow the participants to apply what they have learnt in the field and to provide adequate time for workplace support, coaching and mentoring in line with the 70-20-10 Learning & Development Model.

• 10% – Formal education
• 20% – Coaching, networking and collaboration
• 70% – Experience in the field, day to day activities, assignments and challenges

Cleanaway is committed to investing in our people towards continuous improvement and our mission of making a sustainable future possible.
