Empowerment Programmes

Women in Mining

Mining contributes to the rural economic development and general poverty alleviation (MMSD Report, 2002). In assisting with the development of women in mining we encourage women in our team to complete their National Certificate: Small Scale Mining.

Over the past ten years there has been an increase in the historically disadvantaged South Africans in the Mining Sector.

The qualification affords women the opportunity to gain both the theoretical and practical experience that will enable them to understand the running and operation of mining. The qualification and experience address core components such as: Occupational Health, Safety and Environment, Basic Finance and Accounting, Geology and Basic Maintenance Practice.

The special electives address the mining process and technology. The balance between the essential knowledge and practical experience provides delegates with the foundation to operate effectively and responsibly within the mining sector.

Individuals with this qualification are able to:

• Communicate and solve problems in a variety of ways.
• Conduct operations on a mine.
• Demonstrate an understanding of engineering principles in the mining sector.
• Demonstrate an understanding of basic geological principles.

In addition to the qualification and experience it affords women in mining with opportunities under guidance of subject matter experts to start and pursue a career in the mining sector
