Newmont Young Cadia Star named Western NSW Apprentice of the Year The future of Australia's mining industry is bright at Newmont Cadia with dedicated apprentice Annalise Brouwer honoured as the 2024 Western NSW Apprentice of the Year. Since Annalise started at Cadia in 2021 to pursue a career as a Diesel and Heavy Plant Mechanic, she has completed a Certificate III in Mobile Plant Technology at TAFE NSW in Dubbo and has distinguished herself as a leader and advocate amongst peers. Annalise has promoted women in trade roles through early career events, recruitment activities and the Girls Can Too program and also served as a site safety leader. Annalise said she attributes her success in her career so far to her early fascination with big trucks and the satisfaction she found from servicing her own vehicle. "Winning this award is a huge honour," Ms Brouwer said. "I've always been passionate about mechanical trades and the support I've received at Cadia has been extraordinary. I'm especially proud to be a role model for other women and young people considering careers in trades." Newmont Cadia General Manager, Tom Lukeman, said he was proud of the opportunities Newmont Cadia provides to the industry's best and brightest apprentices. "Annalise's achievement is a reflection of her positive attitude, initiative and work ethic," Tom said. "At Cadia, we are passionate about providing career opportunities for young people, through comprehensive training programs and hands-on experience. Nurturing and upskilling the next generation will ensure a robust and innovative future for the mining industry. "We are incredibly proud of Annalise's accomplishments and look forward to her continued success," Tom said.
