The program, which ran over eight weeks in March and April, trained up 80 staff in cloud skills, with the aim of creaing cloud fluency across the airline and possible future career pathways.
It is the latest in a string of organisational-wide programs aimed at upskilling staff at Australian companies, including NAB, Telstra and Kmart, though is significantly smaller in scale.

AGL's 'barn raising' principles illustrated.
As 'ML at Scale' program hits its stride.
AGL is honing the machinery and processes it set up last year to smooth the path for machine learning models from proof-of-concept to production, with the process cut from 200 hours down to 20 hours.
Head of advanced analytics Sarah Dods told IQPC’s Data Analytics online event series that the company used a ‘barn raising’ technique to stand up all the pieces needed for a production-use machine learning model.
“To actually do the technical work of bringing the model across [to pre-prod and then production], we’ve gone right back to the Amish and gone with ‘barn raising’ principles,” Dods said.

Intends to transform site operations by the end of the year.
Newmont has started production use of an autonomous haul truck fleet at its Boddington gold and copper mine in Western Australia.
The miner said in a statement that it had hit a milestone in the deployment “with the first production delivered”, and produced a brief video showing the driverless trucks operating in the pit.
“Achieving first production from our autonomous fleet is an important step in the full deployment of the fleet,” Newmont Australia’s regional senior vice president Alex Bates said.
“It is a testament to the enthusiasm and professionalism of our team that we have achieved this first milestone safely.”

Datathon leads to creation of JAWS platform.
Energy distribution infrastructure operator Jemena said it has found a way to “really mine” the tens of billions of data points collected by electricity smart meters in Victoria for the first time.
The company late last year said it had built a platform called JAWS - Jemena AWS - with the assistance of AWS and Deloitte, in the hope of influencing customer behaviour but also its own infrastructure investment decisions, a key input to energy pricing.
JAWS is now about two years old and was used during the pandemic to identify vulnerable end users - those whose usage had suddenly dropped - and advise them of support options, and to identify at-risk users whose energy needs had suddenly increased.
