Spintelligent Pty, the Cape Town-based publisher, trade exhibition and conference organiser, has launched the Spintelligent Training Academy to address learning and development needs in the energy, utilities and mining industries on the African continent. Spintelligent managing director David Ashdown says: “Part of our experience in providing quality content to B2B industry events in the energy and mining sectors is that we are part of the industry and therefore perfectly placed to identify trends and gaps and challenges with regard to skills development.” The Spintelligent Training Academy has identified a need for training solutions that deliver both industry-specific know-how and effective learning and development. David Ashdown explains: “There are reported skills gaps across energy and mining in Africa at both technical and management levels. The message from both government and industry identifiesinvestment in training and edu cation as core to ensuring progress is sustainable.” The academy faculty will comprise expert practitioners from industry, government, academia and consultancies. Drawing on Spintelligent’s long-standing relationships with both government and industry will ensure that the content of the training programmes is relevant and builds value. (ank)
