By taking part in this ten-month course, which combines theory and practice, the young trainees will gain a basic understanding of how the mine’s heavy machinery systems work and become fully able to dismantle and assemble equipment using service manuals, adjust components, and diagnose and repair faults using ET software.

The Human Resources Department of Energy Resources LLC held a meeting with the young people taking part in the training. At the meeting the workers highlighted how valuable the professional and technical English they are gaining from the course, and the practical work they are doing in the repair shop, have been. These young people, who are specialising in the maintenance of Caterpillar heavy-duty machinery and equipment used in the mine’s day-to-day operations, will complete their training in two months and will then contribute to the important work of keeping the mine running without interruption.
