The Collie Chamber of Commerce and Industry (CCCI) is proud to present the latest edition of our Business Connections series, made possible by funding from Workforce Australia Local Jobs South West, through the Australian Government Department of Employment and Workplace Relations. This event offers an exclusive opportunity to explore world-leading mining technology at the WesTrac Technology Training Centre (WTTC), Collie.

As the first facility of its kind in the Southern Hemisphere, the WTTC has been at the forefront of training technicians in the autonomous mining industry since March 2020. Supporting local businesses and providing state-of-the-art training services, this cutting-edge facility plays a crucial role in Collie’s evolving economy.

With 42 attendees, the event provided an immersive experience, featuring hands-on training programs for autonomous equipment, networking opportunities with industry experts, and insights into the future of mining technology.
