Training and Development

Hudbay’s training and development programs are designed to ensure that our people have the skills, knowledge and opportunities needed to work safely and responsibly, deliver our business strategy, and achieve their career aspirations. There are programs for every stage of a person’s career. Here are some examples:

• Many of our people are hired from local communities. We offer a variety of training programs to help them qualify for work at Hudbay and to advance their careers within the Company. See Local Hiring and Skills Development for current programs.
• As our global footprint expands, international assignments are an attractive option for professionals looking to gain experience and hone their skills in new environments. We encourage high-potential employees to participate in short- or long-term assignments at different locations. Those who take on expatriate roles are expected to transfer knowledge and skills to the local workforce.
• We provide English and Spanish language training to support communications between individuals across Hudbay.
• Apprenticeship programs cover a wide range of trades including electrical, boilermaker/welder, mechanic, machinist, pipefitting and carpentry. Apprentices follow a prescribed program that includes working with a journeyman and attending school at the Company’s expense. We also support apprenticeship programs of the Northern Manitoba Sector Council by providing job placements.
