Our Technical Trade Apprenticeship Program is our starship program that has been recognized by the community and the government.
It is designed to provide an opportunity to learn a technical trade. The program is structured in such a way as to maximise the practical application of what is taught in a classroom by having “hands on” experience in a real workplace. Apprentices will gain a rich experience, not only in their trade but also in general work and life skills.
The program generally runs for two to three years depending on academic requirements. It is a collaborative program, designed with our own internal trades trainers and the training institutes’ lecturers. Each year students spend approximately 4 months in class and 8 months “on the tools” at our mine site.
Apprenticeship opportunities exist within the fields of electrical, mechanical or automotive engineering, delivered through National Industrial Training Centre (NITA), Mombasa.
