Enhancing the expertise of our employees ensures that, as a business, we maintain up-to-date skills and qualifications while developing highly competent people who are ready and able to take on future challenges.
Technical training & development
We are a Registered Training Organisation (RTO Code:5235) and provide a comprehensive range of training solutions, including trade and post-trade courses for the electricity supply and related industries. View our scope of registration information.
As an RTO we must comply with national standards and participate in regular audits to ensure the consistent delivery of high quality training. View our Vocational Education and Training Quality Framework audit information.
Recognition of Prior Learning (RPL) assessment
If you already have on-the-job skills but need the formal qualifications, you may be able to apply for Recognition of Prior Learning (RPL), which is available for training. For further information please email trainingquality@ergon.com.au.
Recognition of qualifications issued by other RTOs
Ergon Energy recognises the Australian Qualification Framework qualifications and Statements of Attainment issued by another RTO.
Employee development
Another service that we offer to develop our people is Course Source, a training and development service offering a comprehensive range of programs and recognised qualifications to suit both individual and business needs. There are more than 130 training courses available through Course Source, with additional courses being added on a regular basis.
Formal Development Plans are also used to encourage employees to gain new skills, behaviours, competencies, and/or knowledge. This can be achieved through a variety of activities, including coaching, exposure to new jobs or projects, taking on higher duties, self-learning, on-the-job training, internal or external training courses, and conferences. We also have a Succession Management Program which seeks to identify high potential employees and provide them with opportunities and training to develop specific skills to help them advance in their careers.
We have partnered with several leading business schools to deliver our Leadership Programs which assist managers and leaders gain relevant skills in managing staff - with tailored programs designed to suit team leaders, right through to our senior executives.
Study assistance
We provide financial support to employees who are studying to enhance their formal qualifications in relevant fields at recognised tertiary institutions and TAFE colleges.
Performance management
Regular feedback and review are the cornerstone of our performance management procedures. We focus on establishing a shared understanding of how employee performance contributes to the achievement of company goals, with positive safety behaviours and our values underpinning every individual's approach to every area of their role.
