"The LTC is a pretty unique concept. We piloted the program for four years in Wiluna and then moved to Laverton so now we can offer these opportunities to the entire northern goldfields. The secret of our success is family involvement and being responsive to culture to assist people to transition from their current circumstances into training and then into employment."

"The reason a company like Australian Potash invests in social facilities like the Laverton Training Centre is that our project is going to be in this community for more than 30 years and we genuinely feel that it's our obligation to give something back to the community. One of the endeavours we thought we could pursue was to focus on enhancing the economic capacity of the people who live in Laverton and would otherwise feel, or potentially be, too marginalised to develop their own capacity."
