�羺�����Ƽ� graduate Claire brings passion and purpose to her role

�羺�����Ƽ�’ Claire Yates believes helping others is not only a gift, but an opportunity for personal growth.

��
The Community Relations Graduate studied a dual bachelor’s degree in Commerce and Arts at Curtin University in Western Australia, which evolved her passion for community engagement and giving back.
Growing up in a small coal-mining town in Western Australia, Claire didn’t think twice when applying for the CIMIC graduate program.
“I was looking for a program where I would be able to learn from different people across multiple disciplines,” Claire said.
“Getting back into mining made sense. Having been part of a small mining community, I understood the benefits that companies can provide to the regions in which they operate.”
Working with �羺�����Ƽ�, Claire is able to bring this insight and passion for giving back to her graduate position.

What learning and development opportunities has the program provided?
“Everyone at �羺�����Ƽ� is happy to show me new things and help with my development and understanding of the business. I’ve been to the Dawson South site and was given a tour in one of the dump trucks, it was incredible. I’m also doing some external courses in Project Management and Critical Thinking that �羺�����Ƽ� is supporting, which is great.”
How would you describe yourself?
“Sassy, direct and passionate. I’m often inspired by others who are passionate and who really love their job. I also love to travel and have a goal to visit multiple countries.”
What are you passionate about outside of work?
“I am passionate about spreading awareness of organ donation.
“When I was 18, both of my kidneys failed and I needed a transplant. I received one from my dad about six months later. I was lucky I didn’t need dialysis or to go on the waitlist.
“There are a lot of people who are not as lucky as me. I encourage everyone to take the time to visit the Donate Life website and start the conversation about organ donation.”
