BHP
Large Employer of the Year
BHP is a world-leading resources company, operating in more than 90 locations worldwide, with products sold globally. Its South Australian operations include surface and underground mining in one of the world’s most significant copper, gold, silver, and uranium basins.
Training and workforce development are integral to BHP’s business planning, guided by structured 2-year and 5-year workforce plans. These plans address short- to medium-term operational needs while anticipating long-term industry trends, enabling BHP to ‘grow its own’ skilled workforce in a competitive South Australian skills market.
A hallmark of BHP’s apprenticeship program is its rotational structure, giving apprentices hands-on experience across departments. Line leaders and team members are trained to integrate apprentices effectively, supporting both junior and adult learners, including external candidates and existing employees. Leadership programs further equip staff to manage teams, drive innovation, and lead with integrity, consistently building confidence, capability, and readiness for greater responsibility across the organisation.
