Coal seam gas training package report

With a view to identifying and closing any gaps, a scoping study has been released on how the PMA08 Chemical, Hydrocarbons and Refining Training Package meets the needs of the Coal Seam Gas sector.

The report compiled by Total Training and Performance Solutions on behalf of Manufacturing Skills Australia states that CSG is a growing and significant sector, covering natural gas production and water treatment (and LNG) which will require a significant workforce in a very short period of time.

The scoping report recommends the development of five new units and the inclusion into PMA08 of two additional units from other Training Packages.

The report notes that as CSG is a new sector, the technology and processes have yet to stabilise and become consistent across the industry which will require PMA08 to be regularly reviewed to ensure it remains well aligned to the needs of the sector.
