PAMICOR Limited has introduced the third cohort of its Graduate Maintenance Training Programme, continuing its commitment to building a skilled, safety-focused, and locally trained workforce for Ghana’s mining sector.
Selected following a comprehensive recruitment process completed in January 2026, the new cohort officially commenced their 15-month structured development journey on 2nd February 2026. The programme is designed to produce maintenance professionals who are technically excellent, operationally safe, and equipped for real mine environments from day one.
A Programme Built For The Real World
The Graduate Maintenance Training Programme blends theoretical instruction at the Sandvik Training Academy with hands-on practical experience at live mine sites. Participants develop technical competence alongside the practical judgment and situational awareness that only comes from working in active underground environments.
Guided by Pamicor’s five core values (Safety, Discipline, Smart Work, Focus, and Communication), the programme produces technicians who are ready to contribute immediately and sustainably to mine operations across West Africa.
Pamicor has always held that long-term operational excellence starts with long-term investment in people. Each new cohort strengthens both the company’s own capability and the broader talent pipeline for Ghana’s mining industry.
Addressing A Critical Skills Gap
Skilled maintenance technicians remain a critical bottleneck in Ghana’s mining sector. Equipment downtime is one of the largest contributors to cost overruns at mine sites across the country. By graduating technically certified professionals who understand both the equipment and the operating environment, Pamicor is closing that gap with homegrown talent.
The partnership with Sandvik, a world leader in mining equipment and technical training, ensures that programme graduates hold internationally recognised competencies aligned with the machinery deployed at mine sites operated by global majors.
