Our People Training and Development

As a company with distinct locations and diverse needs, Hudbay provides a wide range of formal and informal training and development opportunities to help employees perform their jobs capably and fulfill their career aspirations:

• 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 the Company grows, there is increasing emphasis on developing leaders. We introduced leadership training for all managers in Peru and conducted leadership skills seminars in Arizona.
• We encourage knowledge transfer across geographies and have multiple cross-company teams and opportunities for people to take short- or long-term assignments at different locations. Those who take on expatriate roles are expected to transfer their knowledge and skills to the local workforce.
• We provide English and Spanish language training to support communications between individuals across Hudbay.
• In Manitoba, apprenticeship programs cover a wide range of trades including electrician, boilermaker/welder, mechanic, machinist, pipefitter and carpenter.
• In Peru, we have developed several training programs, attended by 522 local participants in total. 173 participants were hired after completing the training sessions successfully. These programs enhanced the capabilities of operators, drivers, mechanics, environmental monitors, and specialists on food preparation and housekeeping.
