Empowering communities for sustainable futures

Letech’s philosophy is that training centers (virtual or physical) and programs should be designed to generate an environment that is conducive to life with life-long learning and represents the learning journey as a component of an employee’s role in the mining industry that is as comparably important as their on-going operational performance.

Training frameworks that represent and demonstrate world’s best practice in contemporary learning through excellent facilities and curriculum, professional facilitation and teaching talent and the application of leading technologies will allow individual businesses and industries to demonstrate to employees that they are valued and are inherently important to the success of the business.

Training and personal development should be positioned as devices that encourage the pursuit of excellence through learning. While physical training centers should be equipped with leading edge technologies that foster individual learning outcomes, the physical environment of training centers should also encourage the sharing of ideas at a person-to-person and group (human) level.

Students should understand that as their careers and roles change and progress in the mining industry, “training” will be the entity that provides them with:

“The Student Experience”
  • Opportunities for career advancement
  • Opportunities to gain skills that allow them to do their jobs safer and better
  • Opportunities to network and engage with their fellow employees in an environment that encourages mutual respect and a commitment to the advancement of the professionalism of their industry
  • Empower and share the learnings with the community and build the next generation

Developing Learning Frameworks

Drafting initial industry training plans and matrices it is necessary to make assumptions about curriculum including time spent to achieve “proficiency”. For training programs focused on “new industry entrants”, student throughput will be a function of the volume of students expected and required to undertake roles to meet industry operational goals as well as time spent in training.

Letech will use the following criteria to develop data for student throughput tables (volume) and identified industry and business requirements (the curricula):
  • The proposed solutions must support the achievement of project and organizational objectives
  • Industry best practice must be applied.
  • Experience in the planning and delivery of comparable training solutions has been considered and applied

Letech deploys multilayered blended learning solutions for clients that may be implemented in full or in part depending on the needs and training outcomes of the specific learning and development project.
