The Chamber of Mines of Peru, in compliance with its specific objective of developing innovative tools that allow the continuous training of professionals, technicians and operative personnel related to the mining sector, has developed the tool “Trabajo Integrador” (Integrating Work); whose purpose is to create a synergy between the training and labor aspects. That is to say, that the benefits obtained during the training cycle are reflected in the development of their work activity.
In this way, the continuous improvement of their skills is encouraged, which will produce more complete workers and will generate a positive impact on the entire mining business.
The design of the tool Integrating Work allows the training received at The Chamber of Mines of Peru, through the different training programs, to enhance self-knowledge, skills and values in everything related to the various areas that make up mining knowledge, i.e., management, geology, mining, metallurgy, safety, environment, maintenance and social responsibility.
This situation generates more skilled workers, who transfer what they have learned to their workplace and apply it in the development of the various unitary operations; such as drilling, blasting, loading, transportation, metallurgical treatments, etc. All carried out to develop the work in the most productive, safe, responsible and sustainable way possible.
Benefits of the tool Integrating Work
The knowledge acquired during the training period generates a benefit to the worker and to the company itself, since it will have a highly trained human resource, with a set of skills that will be at the service of the company. All with the aim of contributing to the optimization of structures, as well as to the development of corporate culture and compliance with good standards of behavior within the organization.
It will also have a positive effect on the employee’s personality, because it will increase his/her self-esteem and desire to acquire new knowledge, which will make him/her feel more valued in the work area.
Promotion of flexible partnerships
As a complementary and differential element, the tool Integrating Work promotes the formation of flexible partnerships, which is the interaction and exchange of knowledge between professionals and workers in the mining sector, since the objective is to reinforce the learning received.
This is a genuine opportunity for students to learn about and identify the particularities of mining activities in different parts of the world and to develop a global vision of the sector.
In addition, this synergy between the labor and training fields leads to top-level workers, capable of developing diverse activities and obtaining optimal results in them. For example, in management tasks, where it is important to identify new business opportunities.
The contribution of the tool Integrating Work can also be seen in operations management, where it is necessary to discover and attract new strategic partners. Likewise, in customer management, where it is important to maintain good relationships and to work in an integrated manner with the end users of the product, as well as with the various suppliers. Finally, we can also mention that this method contributes to the optimization of logistics management.
For these reasons, the recognition to The Chamber of Mines of Peru increases, since we always seek to innovate in order to improve the mining sector in all its areas.
