This project aims to establish a training academy for the operations and maintenance of heavy equipment used in the mining industry (i.e. earthmoving equipment and trucks). The project will build-on the existing technical and vocational education program of the Northern Technical College (NORTEC) – Ndola, Zambia. NORTEC was established in 1959 and provides training programs in electrical, mechanical, automotive engineering and the applied sciences. The new training program will be developed in-consultation with industry to ensure courses are demand-driven and meet the current needs of the work environment.
The project coordinator will work under the overall and direct administrative and operational supervision of the UNIDO project manager. The project coordinator is expected to carry out the following duties.
