Jobs at the Prominent Hill mine in outback South Australia are on offer to Indigenous people on the APY Lands who complete a training program.

Executive general manager of operations for OZ Minerals, Mick Wilkes, says the training program will continue due to its success.

Its students have been learning reading, writing and computer skills in the pre-employment program and are then trained in mining skills.

Mr Wilkes says every student who completes the course is guaranteed a job at the mine.

"There are real issues out there in the community with numeracy and literacy that have to be addressed and we're trying to do our bit to try and address those through this course," he said.

"We started off with 19 students ... from various very remote areas on the APY Lands and I'm very pleased to tell you we've still got 16 students still on the course."
