The Resource Training Organization (RTO) includes six key sectors:

• Mining and Smelting
• Oil and Gas
• Pulp and Paper
• Solid Wood
• Shipbuilding and Repair
• Utilities

Employers within these sectors are typically large, with operations that are commonly national or international in scope.  They in turn deal with large numbers of small and medium size enterprises, which often face similar human resource challenges and employ many of the same trades. The resource sector represents the pillars of the training organization; however RTO will collaborate with and represent the interest of other industries and organizations that employ the trades falling within RTO program responsibility.
