Blue Tongue’s upskill program helps businesses improve Heavy Equipment workforce retention, loyalty, and cost control

Here’s the first thing you need to know about us: We are not a recruitment company or a labor hire organization. We are Blue Tongue, an Australian business that has developed a groundbreaking upskill Program to reinvent the way you solve your Heavy Equipment Technician skills shortages for the long term.

The Program works like this. We partner with Clients to understand their long-term workforce needs, then design a bespoke Advanced Group Training upskill program to help them fill their critical Heavy Equipment workforce gaps. We invite only the most dedicated auto mechanics to undertake the Program and train them to become qualified Heavy Equipment Technicians using industry-leading training methods and technology, combined with on-the-job experience. This approach means technicians are ready to be productive from their first day onsite.

So strong is our commitment to our partner Clients that we invest all upfront training and wages costs ourselves, ensuring that your risk is minimized and your return on investment is maximized.

We’ve upskilled more than 1,000 employees to date and our clients have seen unprecedented results such as employee retention rates of 93% and improved control over labor costs. Clients are also reporting improvements across other areas too. For instance, they found that working with Blue Tongue helped improve workplace culture and was a good way to attract skilled talent who would remain loyal to their company.

Terra Mining’s Regional Maintenance Manager says, “I am a long-time believer in and advocate for Blue Tongue’s upskill Program. Their team consists of seasoned professionals with strong customer service values and collaborative processes, which supports site safety, retention, and performance.”
