Training and Career Development

At the beginning of the season new CPC team members take part in an extensive Induction Course undertaken on-station which runs for up to 11 days. This is followed by site specific induction training on the individual stations where they are based.

These skills include horsemanship, horse shoeing, cattle work, fencing, water and mechanical maintenance and motorbike skills. The induction also allows new staff to learn information such as low stress stock handling techniques and Workplace Health and Safety within the pastoral industry.

All team members have an opportunity to create with their managers, an Individual Development Plan. These development needs are addressed through informal and formal training programs throughout the year and the course of their employment.

Courses offered may include:

Chemcert Accreditation
Bushfire Safety
Four Wheel Driving
Apply First Aid
Welding
Station Butchering
Communication and Management Skills
Cert I Agriculture
Cert II in Agriculture
Cert III in Agriculture
Cert IV in Assessment and Workplace Training
Cert IV in Rural Business

This list is by no means exhaustive and there are many other e-learning courses that may be learnt on CPC stations. The scope is extremely wide - the main limit being the person's aptitude and interest in the skills he/she wishes to pursue.

To supplement your training by CPC personnel it is our custom to use professional instructors from outside the company. This practice allows the team access to some of Australia's leading trainers.

To encourage staff to utilise and present their skills outside of the daily working environment CPC encourages staff to be involved in company and community campdrafts, rodeos, colt challenges and other events.
