Yep, you read that right\u2014trucks without drivers!<\/em><\/p>\n

But it\u2019s not just about the high-tech gadgets; it\u2019s about community. With its rich history, Collie is evolving into a dynamic hub for emerging industries. This expansion means saying, \u201cHey, we\u2019re in this together!\u201d<\/p>\n

Building the Skills for the Future<\/strong><\/h5>\n

Since opening in August 2020, over 400 students have dived into the world of autonomous mining tech, gaining hands-on experience that sets them apart. The expanded space at the training centre means more room for you and your pals to dive headfirst into the future of technology.<\/p>\n

In collaboration with the\u00a0Motivation Foundation<\/a>, WesTrac has supported countless young individuals in earning qualifications and securing full-time employment, with the improved facilities set to sustain and bolster this impactful partnership.<\/p>\n
