Where will your people come from?

Chilean large-scale mining will need roughly 37,000 new workers by 2034, and about eighty per cent of that demand is replacement through retirement, not growth.

The problem

Chilean large-scale mining now employs 209,000 people, nearly double the 2016 figure. Average age is 45 and less than seven per cent of the workforce is under 30.

This reframes the whole discussion. The country is not short of headcount: national unemployment is above nine per cent. It is about to lose three decades of accumulated operating judgement, in a decade in which the autonomous truck fleet triples.

Capital plans get stress-tested against the copper price. Very few get stress-tested against this.

What it includes

Headcount required by phase

Construction and operation, benchmarked against the sector's reference workforce study.

Critical profile gaps

Where the regional market does not have the people and they have to be trained.

Map of accredited providers

The training organisations and assessment centres able to deliver each programme, with regional coverage.

Certification route

Built on national competency profiles that already exist, rather than creating new ones.

Funding cut-off

Which part of the programme is subsidisable through the tax training credit and which is not, by participant income threshold.

Fixed, closed price with no hourly billing. Guaranteed turnaround from receipt of complete background material. The full value of the package is credited against the following mandate if you engage us within six months. Delivered as a signed document plus a 60-minute presentation session.

Who it is for

Sponsors about to build who do not yet know where the people will come from, and foreign operators who need to understand the Chilean training and certification system.

What comes next

We can coordinate the full programme with accredited providers through the construction phase.

Our limit, stated

Estribor is not an accredited training organisation or competency assessment centre. We design and coordinate; delivery is carried out by accredited bodies. That is an advantage, not a limitation: it lets us recommend the right provider without a conflict of interest.

STRATEGIC ALLIANCES

Five layers, four firms, one chain

A human capital plan is not solved from a single discipline. We work in alliance, with separate and traceable responsibilities.

Diagnosis and coordination

Leighton Consulting. Workforce mapping, assessments and coordination between the parties.

Strategy and plan

Estribor. Staffing requirements, multi-year plan, competency architecture, governance and indicators.

Training

Universidad Santo Tomás. Academic design and delivery, over a technical, professional and continuing education network with national coverage.

Competency certification

Estribor. Assessment and certification under its own governance, functionally independent from training.

Executive search

Kingsley Gate. C-suite, senior management and specialised leadership, with a global network and a presence across Latin America.

Each party owns its layer and invoices separately. No member of the alliance commits prices or terms on behalf of another. See how the alliance works →
