Unemployed people in Wilcannia, New South Wales, Australia, will be given the opportunity to train for certification in resource and infrastructure work preparation, ABC News reports. The goal is that employment in the region’s new mining projects will follow.

“There’s jobs there, and there’s going to be lots of jobs in the near future, and fortunately we’ve got a lot of people interested in that industry. That was one of the main reasons why we picked this type of course to run out there.”
