Meet Rachel Mulder!

Tell us a bit about yourself.

I have a mining background operating 793 Dump trucks, training and assessing on site and onboarding new personnel to site. I have a passion for helping people achieve their goals. On a personal note, I am a happy bubbly person that enjoys the company of others.

What’s a fun fact about you?

I was in the closing ceremony of commonwealth games for jump rope for heart (a few years ago now)!

What courses do you lead?

I mainly teach the Rio Tinto induction courses, these include the ‘Perth Regional Hub Essentials’, ‘Lock Holder’ and ‘Personal and Permit Isolation’ courses.

Why do you love training?

I love training as I find it rewarding, especially when learners that come to class really worried about not gaining the qualification, I enjoy making them feel at ease and ensuring them that I will do my very best to help them succeed.

Why should people choose Aveling?

I think people choose to train at Aveling because it has a great friendly vibrant environment with wonderful facilities and a great café located on the premises. The amazing artwork around the place is a really good conversation starter.

And of course, the amazing trainers that work here!

Do you have a favourite story from the classroom?

I had a learner attend my class that had been offered work onsite and had been turning it down for years as they were so nervous about the training, from a bad past training experience.

They came in and voiced their concern letting me know exactly how they were feeling, I replied saying that’s terrible and I can assure you your day will not be like that, in fact you may even find it enjoyable, which is exactly what happened by the time they had completed the day they were kicking themselves they hadn’t attended the training sooner.
