Industry Safety Assessment and Training (ISAT) will deliver a range of professional development training courses to government personnel in Timor-Leste under the ADCP funding.
ISAT training industry leader Themelina “Tammy” Kassiou said the company plays a key role in supporting local content initiatives, skills development, and furthering sustainable social, environmental, and economic development through partnerships with government and industry.
“We are absolutely delighted to work with the Australian Defence Cooperation Program to deliver professional development training to government personnel in Timor-Leste,” Ms Kassiou said.
“The program involves delivering a range of critical skilling across key areas of capability including project management, communication, procurement, contract management, finance, business administration and negotiation, just to name a few.
“The courses will be delivered at our campus facilities in Dili by our highly trained and experienced trainers. We expect to train over 200 people as part of our work.
“We worked with high level program and government stakeholders to ensure the course content was customised to meet the individual workplace needs of participants to maximise learning outcomes.”
The professional development training is of particular importance as part of the Australian Defence Cooperation Program, she said.
“The Australian Defence Cooperation Program in Timor-Leste is an important element of both countries’ commitment to the economic prosperity and security of the region.
“The professional development training will support the aims of the Australian Defence Cooperation Program in assisting to achieve capacity building within the Ministry of Defence Force Timor-Leste.”
Training in Timor-Leste is hoped to encourage semi-skilled and skilled workers to join companies wanting to engage local people for their businesses in East Timor and internationally.
