He has a background in exploration, mine planning and engineering in the metals, coal, oil and gas industry sectors in remote and regional Australia, and in environmental policy and community support in the South Australian local government sector. Ross has a strong practical and policy background, giving him an appreciation of the merits of strategic and operational support for vocational education and training.
Skills for All
Skills for all is a South Australian Government initiative changing the way vocational education and training is funded in the state. The government has committed funding to help support additional training places giving many South Australians the opportunity to gain more qualifications, many at low or no cost, through approved Skills for All training providers.
