This is what Metcelerate offers:
A globally recognized, professional development program for young engineers working in mining plant operations.
The program focuses on plant operations, from process mineralogy to the final product as concentrate, cathode or ingot. The program lasts 18 months in total with an average weekly dedication of 4-6 hours. Throughout the program, participants are guided by world-renowned experts in identifying and solving operational challenges at mining sites.
Our value proposition
The program contents and structure are designed to bridge the gap between academic knowledge and practical skills & operational expertise that are typical for young professionals. The methodology is structured around four learning modes: Self-guided online study material; weekly live tutorials; periodic assignments focussed on operational challenges; and an integrated course called Operational Optimization that is aligned and agreed on with the participant and the plant manager.
The Metcelerate program contributes significantly to the development of critical skills and the ability to formulate problems in terms of engineering, resource management, resources, and solution identification through the application of traditional and more recent & innovative mineral processing tools and methods, all focussed on problem solving and succesfull management of operational challenges in the plant.
The program is designed to develop the leaders of the future in the mining industry. The program provides – in addition to practical & technical knowledge – tools for the development of leadership skills, combined with a broad operational understanding to analyze data and make complex decisions. This allows all participants to create and increase value at their organization.
