of our business, including how we manage and protect cultural heritage and engage with communities.<br /> <br /> As part of our efforts to increase transparency, in 2021 and 2022, we released 2 Communities and Social Performance Commitments Disclosure Reports which detail the progress we have made.

I’ve managed to make a step-change in my personal development and become a more confident leader. Not only did I get guidance, but it helped me better connect with our Indigenous cohort. This connection is so important because together we share a lot of ideas and we’re a lot stronger. The EIELP course was also the first leadership programme I’ve been involved in that had culture as a centrepiece. From the very beginning, it was delivered in a way that is culturally safe. </p> <p>“As a cohort, we all had common ground. And with that, we were able to build a level of trust very quickly. And then with the trust came vulnerability and in this safe environment, we gained confidence. Confidence meant we have a lot more drive, a lot more influence and the ability to make change if we want to see a difference across the business and in our communities. </p> <p>“I can understand why people may feel reluctant to participate in programmes like this – it can feel tokenistic, but I really encourage anyone who is thinking of doing it, or something similar, to go for it. I took the chance and got to connect with likeminded colleagues, some really clever people, and create a connection between leaders as a support network that you can tap into across the business – for me, that in itself was really helpful”.</p> <p>Kurt is a Wiradjuri man who started with us 15 years ago as one of the first Indigenous cadets.

But when you grow up in the remote Kimberley region in Western Australia, fewer employers and less access to training are extra challenges to add to the list.</p> <p>So in partnership with Derby District High School, we’re working to offer their students more career options with a program that sets graduates up for success in the exciting and emerging field of drone aviation.</p> <p>Since 2021, we’ve been funding a Remote Drone Pilot License Course at the school. The program – which prepares participants to fly drones for fields like mining, defence, photography, search and rescue, tourism, ranger and station work – equips students with a Remote Drone Pilot License qualification through the ACE Aviation Aerospace Academy, and a Certificate III in Aviation. </p> <p>"We hope that by supporting initiatives like this, we can help equip students with new skills and empower them for new opportunities," said Kent, our General Manager for Yandicoogina Operations. </p> <p>The course is the only one of its kind in the Kimberley and is nationally accredited through the ACE Aviation Aerospace Academy. </p> <p>"The program has changed the lives of students and builds their confidence," said Mohammed, Deputy Principal at Derby District High School. "It has brought the students and the community of Derby together.” </p> <p>The 2021 cohort’s graduates have already started on promising career pathways because of their new qualifications. </p> <p>And we’re fortunate that 4 of those 14 graduates have already chosen to join our business. </p> <p>Kezia'a is one of these 2021 graduates, who’s joined our Perth Operations Centre as an ATAS Trainee Train Controller. When she finishes her traineeship, she’ll add a Certificate IV in Rail Network Control to her list of qualifications. </p> <p>"The course makes a big difference to a young person's life and creates opportunities for them," she said. </p> <p>“Learning the procedures and applying critical thinking while flying the drones are important skills I’ve got out of the course that will help me with my new role at the Operations Centre.”</p> <p>Another 2021 program graduate, Jasmine, has accepted an Administration Trainee role at our Marandoo operation in the West Pilbara. </p> <p>“I am definitely excited about starting a new career and learning new skills which will help develop not only my career but also myself,” said Jasmine.</p> <p>“By doing the drone course at school and achieving my certificate III in Aviation, I met a few people from Rio Tinto and they really helped me get the job I have now. I am hoping that students who think school is nothing but a waste of time will understand the experience and opportunities school can give you, because without school I probably wouldn’t have the job that I have now.”</p> <p>We’ve committed to an additional 3 years of funding for the program, with 21 students now enrolled in the 2022 cohort. </p></div> </div> </div> <div class="component component rt-component rt-standard-promo contour__area rt-bg-blue01 contour__blue01 contour__top-right contour__corner-1"> <div class="component-content" > <div class="rt-standard-promo__header"> <div class="rt-standard-promo-title"> <h2>Related content</h2> </div> <div class="rt-standard-promo-description"> <div class="rt-rte"> </div> </div> </div> <div class="rt-standard-promo__content"> <div class="rt-standard-promo-cards"> <div class="rt-standard-promo-card"> <div class="rt-standard-promo-card__inner"> <div class="rt-standard-promo-card__image"> <img src="https://cdn-rio.dataweavers.io/-/media/content/images/sustainability/indigenous-peoples/rt-1-27053.jpg?rev=d35bbeb4fe0149df9a8337eb1a53739e&w=720&hash=561B4A59F8D49785FE4B747C7B0C4777" alt="Indigenous employee maintaining 3 point contact on locomotive, Weipa Operations" sizes="(max-width: 768px) 720px, (max-width: 1050px) 720px, (max-width: 1440px) 720px, 720px" srcset="https://cdn-rio.dataweavers.io/-/media/content/images/sustainability/indigenous-peoples/rt-1-27053.jpg?rev=d35bbeb4fe0149df9a8337eb1a53739e&w=720&hash=561B4A59F8D49785FE4B747C7B0C4777 720w" /> </div> <div class="rt-standard-promo-card__content"> <h3 class="rt-standard-promo-card-title">Indigenous Peoples </h3> <div class="rt-standard-promo-card-description"> <div class="rt-rte"> We’re working to be better partners with Indigenous peoples globally </div> </div> <a href="/en/sustainability/indigenous-peoples" title="Indigenous Peoples" class="rt-standard-promo-card-more"><i class="icon-arrow-right"></i></a> </div> </div> </div> <div class="rt-standard-promo-card"> <div class="rt-standard-promo-card__inner"> <div class="rt-standard-promo-card__image"> <img src="https://cdn-rio.dataweavers.io/-/media/content/images/news/stories/2017-2019/planting-the-future/rt-weipa-frances-whittle.jpg?rev=0a6cc365b1da4e55a8cb6a720299cc05&w=720&hash=456D3CE330D8E041EDEF781EA7FCAD46" alt="Frances Whittle, Land Management & Rehabilitation" sizes="(max-width: 768px) 720px, (max-width: 1050px) 720px, (max-width: 1440px) 720px, 720px" srcset="https://cdn-rio.dataweavers.io/-/media/content/images/news/stories/2017-2019/planting-the-future/rt-weipa-frances-whittle.jpg?rev=0a6cc365b1da4e55a8cb6a720299cc05&w=720&hash=456D3CE330D8E041EDEF781EA7FCAD46 720w" /> </div> <div class="rt-standard-promo-card__content"> <h3 class="rt-standard-promo-card-title">Planting the future </h3> <div class="rt-standard-promo-card-description"> <div class="rt-rte"> When you're rehabilitating land, you work with the people who know it best </div> </div> <a href="/en/news/stories/planting-the-future" title="Planting the future" class="rt-standard-promo-card-more"><i class="icon-arrow-right"></i></a> </div> </div> </div> <div class="rt-standard-promo-card"> <div class="rt-standard-promo-card__inner"> <div class="rt-standard-promo-card__image"> <img src="https://cdn-rio.dataweavers.io/-/media/content/images/sustainability/communities/rt-1-28374.jpg?rev=755bbb50321d49c293b70439d3ee7612&w=720&hash=0FF6458537223E4F3745073C9885636C" alt="Photo of employee talking to the chief in the Mafindou community near Beyla, Guinea" sizes="(max-width: 768px) 720px, (max-width: 1050px) 720px, (max-width: 1440px) 720px, 720px" srcset="https://cdn-rio.dataweavers.io/-/media/content/images/sustainability/communities/rt-1-28374.jpg?rev=755bbb50321d49c293b70439d3ee7612&w=720&hash=0FF6458537223E4F3745073C9885636C 720w" /> </div> <div class="rt-standard-promo-card__content"> <h3 class="rt-standard-promo-card-title">Communities </h3> <div class="rt-standard-promo-card-description"> <div class="rt-rte"> We know our operations can have far-reaching impacts on society </div> </div> <a href="/en/sustainability/communities" title="Communities" class="rt-standard-promo-card-more"><i class="icon-arrow-right"></i></a> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </main>   <footer> <div id="footer" class=""> <div class="component rt-component footer-top"> <div class="component-content"> <div class="footer-logo"> <a href="/"> <img src='https://cdn-rio.dataweavers.io/-/media/project/riotinto/shared/riologo.svg?rev=b093ade28919415dba6f33fd12250a32'> </a> </div> <div class="footer-top__left"> <div class="footer-copyright"> © Rio Tinto 2024.
