EMEA & CIS User Group Forum

Workforce Development for the New Era

The shortage of skilled equipment operators—the difficulty in training and retaining them—is more than a staffing issue; it’s a direct threat to a mine’s profitability. Inconsistent operator performance disrupts planning, forecasting, and drives up operational costs. In this new era of mining, effective workforce development is critical!

Join us in Johannesburg to explore effective training solutions that not only address today’s workforce challenges but also pave the way for operational excellence and long-term success in modern mining.

14-15 August 2025

Johannesburg, South Africa
