To help learners successfully complete the program,
Metcelerate’s Program Support team closely monitors each
learner’s progress, and nudges anyone who is falling behind
in the program. Each company is required to nominate
“Metcelerate Mentors” for their learners. The role of the
mentor is to guide learners towards successful practical
application of theoretical knowledge to develop practical
skills. Mentors play a crucial role in helping learners man-
age their workload to meet both program requirements and
job responsibilities.
THREE KEY ELEMENTS OF THE
TRAINING PROGRAM THAT HELP
DELIVER VALUE
As part of our commitment to continuous improvement,
we actively seek both formal and informal feedback from
learners, companies, mentors, and course leaders regard-
ing the content and delivery of the program. Additionally,
we engage with an Advisory Group of mining leaders who
serve as an important sounding board, offering insights and
guidance as we refine and evolve the program. Their input
helps ensure that we stay aligned with the evolving training
needs of the mining industry.
The feedback we receive not only helps us keep the pro-
gram relevant and up-to-date, but also provides data that
allows us to measure the impact and value our program
delivers to mining companies and their employees.
The data highlighted three key elements of the
Metcelerate Program that deliver value to both companies
and their employees.
1. Blended learning in the workplace: The pro-
gram’s blended learning approach allows com-
panies to offer a comprehensive, flexible training
opportunity to their employees and allows them to
learn from renowned experts and develop critical
technical skills without leaving the workplace.
2. Cohort-based learning: This collaborative model
enhances the learning experience by fostering peer-
to-peer interaction, helping young engineers build
networks both within and outside of their compa-
nies. It also allows companies to identify motivated
engineers with leadership potential and can drive
cultural change within teams by promoting a sense
of shared purpose and mutual support.
3. Inclusion of a process optimization project:
The program culminates in a process optimization
project, where learners apply their knowledge and
skills to solve a significant operational challenge.
These projects not only provide a valuable learn-
ing experience but often lead to positive outcomes
this builds confidence in learners and gives them
a sense of accomplishment, while simultaneously
