Existing Workforce Training

When a new cement factory project has been realised the project management team breaks up or moves on to the next project. The factory is handed over to the operational staff who have been trained in the manufacture of cement. The major capital expenditure phase is over and replaced by expenditure to cover the cost of sales and sustaining capital investment.
 
Just as part of the investment for the capital project must be set aside for development and training, so part of the revenue from sales and expenditure for sustaining capital investment must be set aside for on-going development of the staff. Many cement factories are reaching the age where the experienced staff who have been operating the factories for 20 or 30 years are approaching retirement. Capturing the accumulated knowledge of those experienced staff, succession planning and the development of the people to sustain the cement company into the future are key issues which must be addressed.
 
Whitehopleman provides training and development programmes for the on-going development of cement company staff. These range from induction programmes for new recruits to specialist programmes for more experienced staff.
