我们的故事

Ivanhoe Mines is committed to developing our dedicated employees who tirelessly contribute to the advancement of our company’s mission. 此外，我们认识到为内部团队和外部利益相关方进行培训和教育的重要性，因此我们优先注重这些宝贵的机会。

In early 2023 年 9 月, the Kamoa Centre of Excellence (KCE) official opened its door to its inaugural class of Congolese students.  The higher education facility was constructed to educate, train, prepare and equip the next generation of leaders for a rewarding career in the DRC mining industry. The KCE facility’s first phase was recently completed. 该设施能够容纳多达 150 位学生，预计随着时间推移还将逐渐扩建。它包括接待大楼、咖啡厅、行政办公室、两间演讲教室、一间多功能厅以及相关设施。这些建筑是在一流的建筑师团队的协助下精心设计出来的，旨在营造一种与 Lualaba 省周边景观和谐统一的学习环境。

课程是与比勒陀利亚企业大学联合打造的，向学生提供为期一年的综合课程。课程包括英语语言、计算思维、创造性问题解决、基本金融知识、工作场所道德、采矿业简介、项目管理、企业家精神培养。KCE 将扩建并与一些已获国际认证的学术机构合作，让学生能够获得各种学历、文凭和短期课程。The ultimate objective is to develop a self-sustaining, globally recognized educational establishment that seamlessly integrates with the mining industry in the DRC, where the trainees of today become the trainers of tomorrow.

2023 年 10 月 5 日，我们热烈欢迎刚果民主共和国总统 Félix Tshisekedi 为 Kamoa 卓越中心正式揭幕，并向 Kamoa-Kakula 铜矿综合体的全体员工致辞。随行人员包括总统夫人 Denise Nyakeru Tshisekedi、刚果民主共和国总理 Jean-Michel Sama Lukonde、Lualaba 省长 Fifi Masuka 女士。热情洋溢的 KCE 学生和 Kamoa-Kakula 的逾 5,500 名员工热烈欢迎代表团的到访。

The presidential delegation made their first stop at the KCE, where they were welcomed by senior management from Ivanhoe Mines and Kamoa Copper for the official opening ceremony. Following the ceremony, the delegation embarked on a comprehensive tour of the Centre of Excellence and received a detailed presentation from the Ivanhoe Mines team. 此外，总统向首届学生发表了感人至深的讲话。

Afterward, the presidential delegation was granted an exclusive tour of the Kamoa-Kakula Copper Complex, encompassing the Phase 1 and 2 concentrators, and the site of the 500,000 tonne-per-annum direct-to-blister copper smelter, which is currently under construction. 在选矿厂的仓储与装载设施内，总统向热情的刚果员工发表了讲话。

“我们刚刚参观了 Kamoa 卓越中心。这个卓越中心将培训一代又一代刚果采矿业人才，让他们成为采矿业的杰出领导者，引领刚果以最美好的姿态迈向未来，造福刚果人民。

 我看到，Kamoa 铜矿为发展我国铜生产价值链所做的投资。它将为经济产出增加价值，促进财富增长，为刚果人民创造就业机会。”

The Kamoa-Kakula Copper Complex has had a significant and transformative impact on the immediate area, province, and country as a whole. Our commitment extends far beyond simply creating value within our host communities; we are unwavering in our dedication to fostering sustainable prosperity for the Congolese. As we continue our endeavor to mine with a greater purpose, we remain steadfast in our commitment to upskilling and developing the talented local workforce, ensuring a brighter future for all.
