Member for Bathurst Paul Toole presented the first graduates from the course with their certificates at a special ceremony held at Lithgow TAFE.

He said the Lithgow programme commenced with Cohort 1 in March this year and concluded on May 25.

"The programme is a great example of Industry/Employer focused delivery tailored to specific needs and individualised to each participant," Mr Toole said.

"This is all about upskilling existing employees, future proofing an existing workforce and driving cultural change in the workplace."
