In an effort to strengthen the technical and personal skills of new university graduates entering the mining industry, Minera Yanacocha created an 18-month Leader Graduate Program.
The operation’s Management and Acquisition of Talent team scoured a multitude of Peruvian universities and handpicked 19 graduates to participate. The initiative helps further develop the graduates’ skills and ease their transition into employment.
After cultivating their skills, the graduates obtain appointments to mine operations, mine engineering and geology. From there, they will receive permanent positions at the mine and receive additional skills training.
“Thanks to this program, we gain experience in what we have been studying,” said Mayra Montesinos, a graduate of Pontificia Universidad Católica del Perú who is now working in mine engineering for Yanacocha. “We have the opportunity to meet our goals, as well as the goals of this important company that we joined.”
The mine plans to conduct future workshops in effective communication, leadership and teamwork, and to provide supportive mentors.
