Various mining companies and training centers are implementing programs to bridge the gap between academic learning and industrial operations. In Argentina, the Gualcamayo operation hosted students from the National University of San Juan (UNSJ) as part of its ‘Open Doors’ program, allowing them to tour mining sectors and interact with workers to complement their classroom knowledge.

In Mexico, Minera Frisco launched an ‘Open High School’ program at its Tayahua and San Francisco del Oro units. This initiative aims to help workers and local community members complete their secondary education through a flexible modality designed to accommodate work and family responsibilities.

In Chile, the Industrial and Mining Training Center (CEIM) has hosted international delegations from companies such as Glencore, First Quantum Minerals, and Vicuña, as well as academic institutions like Tecnológico de Monterrey. These visits focus on exchanging expertise regarding technical training, competency-based learning, and the integration of new technologies in mining education.

In Peru, Gold Fields concluded the 11th season of its ‘Saber Para Ganar’ educational competition in Hualgayoc. The program, which has invested over S/ 2 million over 11 years, promotes academic knowledge among secondary students in subjects such as science, technology, and history.
