Spotlight on Operations
Skilling up Local Workforces
Summary
Whether you’re starting up a new site, or expanding your operation, training a local workforce is a significant challenge. How do you bring people in from outside the mining industry and train them quickly to become safe equipment operators?
Join Roger Pomerleau of Vista Training for a live webinar where he will explain how to efficiently create a self-sustaining, safety-first culture on your site.
In this Spotlight on Operations session, we’ll learn how New Gold’s Rainy River operation recruited and trained 160 equipment operators from an inexperienced local labour pool in near record time.
Join us for this free webinar and learn:
- How a turnkey training program can help you get new operators up to speed faster
- How a focus on competency development helps you measure and manage results
- Why teaching technical skills and coaching skills simultaneously is so important
