people or processes are not in place.
Aligning a workforce development
strategy with operational data and analytical
tools to improve the speed and effectiveness
of training and risk management initiatives
will produce large financial gains.
According to Immersive Technologies, the
company has been refining the process with
their more than 300 mining customers
across the globe.
The right people are key to any training
operation and Immersive has turned that part
of the equation into a turnkey solution. Many
customers are choosing a managed service
where Immersive Technologies is not only
providing the technology and process, but also
the people to execute the training. This means
the mine does not need to spend significant
time and resources on developing in-house
capability from scratch, but instead benefit
from a solution that produces quantifiable
return on investment from the very get-go.
Each of their staff is qualified in Immersive’s
exclusive technology integration and operator
training methodology. They are also embedded
with Immersive’s global support network and
have direct access to exclusive intellectual
property for mine operator training. The result
is a value-added service that is fully backed by
Immersive Technologies and its demonstrated
capability to reduce mining risk.
Make sure your products/services are seen by the correct target market.
