Hydraulic Excavator practices begin in Panama City
July 26, 2021
(MAKRO Group Press) – A group of 14 young people started the practical training module corresponding to the Hydraulic Excavator operation course dictated in Panama City.
The classes included theoretical training including instruction on heavy machinery simulators such as excavators, which allows the student to practice the correct operation techniques safely and without risk, before starting their operation on the real machinery.
Once the practical training period is over, students will take a knowledge test to finally receive a certificate that certifies them as Heavy Machinery Operator in the specialty of Hydraulic Excavator, a certificate that has international endorsement, which will open the doors to a wide labor market.
Grupo MAKRO has become the leading school in the training of Heavy Equipment Operators, with more than 20 courses in different machinery and presence in 9 countries, standing out for its commitment to the safety of its students.

(Grupo MAKRO Press) – A total of 14 new operators successfully completed the heavy machinery course specialized in Articulated Trucks held in Panama City.
The course, which began on July 15, was divided into three modules which focused on Safety, Preventive Maintenance and Heavy Equipment Operation, where participants acquired the knowledge and skills necessary for the safe operation of the Articulated Truck, in order to avoid risks and injuries at the time of their work performance.
The good practices acquired in the new operators were in charge of our instructor Pedro Osorio, thanks to this eminently practical training, the participants learned the use of the electromechanical shovel system very useful for the extraction of minerals from the deposit, as well as the front of the hopper which can be raised by a hydraulic mechanism so that the loaded material (copper, coal, gold, iron ore or debris) can be dumped to the ground from the rear of the vehicle.
Once the practical course is finished, the new operators will be able to recognize the characteristics and technological innovations of this great mining machine and will be able to work in the mining sector, both metallic and non-metallic, as well as in companies that provide services for mining and civil works.

More than thirty young people completed Hydraulic Excavator training in Apartadó, department of Antioquia
28/05/2021
(MAKRO Group Press) – A total of 31 young people successfully completed the Hydraulic Excavator operator course in the municipality of Apartadó in the department of Antioquia. This course is part of the alliance with Comfenalco Antioquia, related to the handling of yellow machinery.
The educational offer has a simulator component prior to the practice with real machinery and its main objective is to strengthen the technical capabilities of the new operators so that they can achieve a quick insertion in the labor market, due to the great demand for workers in this sector in the department.
It is important to highlight that in this group there was a significant participation of women, who have shown that handling heavy machinery is not only a matter of men, on the contrary, it means new employment opportunities in the sector where only 5% are women, and in particular, for the construction sector with only 3% of participation.
Grupo MAKRO’s commitment is to continue improving the lives of many women, offering them real and attractive opportunities for improvement in their communities and strengthening their leadership skills and example to future generations.

Las mujeres también dominan maquinaria pesada en el sector minero
28 de agosto de 2018
Según el CETEMIN, las mujeres demuestran ser más precisas y cuidadosas al momento de operar la maquinaria, además de ser altamente responsables en el cumplimiento de su labor.
El Centro Tecnológico Minero (CETEMIN) ha venido trabajando en la capacitación de un grupo de mujeres jóvenes en el manejo de maquinaria pesada. Ellas han demostrado su talento para operar gran maquinaria pesada en diferente proyecto del país.
El presidente del directorio del CETEMIN, Raúl Benavides Ganoza, en declaraciones para la agencia de noticias Orbita, señaló que ellas han demostrado gran capacidad para manejar equipo sofisticado. No solo son más cuidadosas y precisas en el momento de operar la maquinaria, sino que tienen un gran sentido de responsabilidad y cumplimiento, lo que confirma que el trabajo minero no solo es de fuerza sino de talento y ellas lo demuestran.
La demanda de mujeres que se capacitan en el CETEMIN va en aumento, llegando a más de 25% comparado con el año 2016, gracias a que se han desterrado prejuicios absurdos basados en creencias y supersticiones que se arraigaron en las minas. Se espera que a fines del 2017 incremente la demanda hasta en 30%.
Ente las especialidades que prefieren las jóvenes, encontramos carreras relacionadas al medio ambiente, seguridad en minas, monitoreo de suelo, agua y aire, además de cuidados ante la contaminación.
La capacitación que realiza el CETEMIN, ofrece una variedad de especialidades técnicas, como explotación minera, cuidado del medio ambiente en pro de una minería limpia y moderada. Estas están dirigidas a jóvenes de ambos sexos y con ello podrán desempeñarse en diversos centros mineros del Perú.
