2011/2012 Annual Report - Metro Tasmania

Apprenticeships
and Traineeships
Metro currently has six
apprentices working in Metro
workshops in Hobart and
Launceston while training
in Diesel Mechanics and
Automotive Electrical. All are
employed through the group
training company, Work and
Training.
One trainee in Launceston is
gaining a Business Certificate II
qualification.
Employee Wellbeing
Two employees are involved
in the Health and Wellbeing
Professional Development
Program run by Department of
Premier and Cabinet. As part
of this program and Metro’s
determination to promote
healthy lifestyle a workplace
gymnasium and health coach
visits will be available for our
workforce. These types of
initiatives can be very beneficial
given the sedentary nature
of jobs within Metro. Current
programs for employees include
a partial funding of a masseuse,
contributions toward fun run
participation and visits by health
providers to the Depots.
