Two employees at Hidden Valley Mine have become the first to receive certificates under a newly introduced “Train the Trainer” program aimed at strengthening workforce training capacity across the operation.
The mine’s Training Department launched the program to build the capability of internal trainers to assess workplace training needs, develop structured learning materials and deliver instruction focused on improving employee performance and behavioral change.
Joe Koromeng and Gesa Kupa completed the certification, marking the first successful graduates of the program, which forms part of ongoing efforts to improve training standards across all departments at the mine.
The mining company said in a statement that the program aims to provide trainers across multiple fields with essential skills to identify employee training requirements, develop targeted educational content, and deliver effective instruction focused on behavioral change in the workplace.
