Kamoa Copper’s transformation department launches talent development program
Kamoa Copper’s innovative new Kipaji Development Program focuses on developing Congolese talent into the company’s future leaders and industry advocates. Selected candidates will be put through a rigorous development process with personalized development plans and mentoring to enhance their leadership and technical strengths. The Swahili word “Kipaji” means talented or gifted, which is appropriate given Kamoa Copper’s aspiration to develop the next generation of industry leaders to help shape the future of mining in the DRC.
On October 16, 2021, Kamoa Copper’s Chairman Ben Munanga, CEO Mark Farren, and the Transformation Department hosted a networking lunch to celebrate the official launch of the Kipaji Development Program. Guests included the initial 30 selected Kipaji candidates, and members of Kamoa Copper’s senior management team who have volunteered as mentors.
