Lack of skills and short-sighted exploitation are causing a variety of technical, environmental, health, safety, and socio-political problems.
Our Approach
Capacity building, skills development, and knowledge transfer play an essential role in Projekt-Consult’s implementation concepts either as an activity for a specific target group or as a side event for partners, project stakeholders, or local staff. We believe that open access to information and knowledge sharing can translate the exploitation of non-renewable resources into human and social development in mining areas. Our holistic training approaches build on long-standing success in project implementation, and capitalize on a vast pool of experienced technical experts. Projekt-Consult’s ability to combine local training concepts with international mining expertise and long-lasting implementing experience is highly appreciated by clients all over the world. Our advanced trainings are not limited to environmental and social issues but comprise specific technical and mine management support - both for the public and private sector.
