At Molycop, our responsibility extends beyond our operations. We believe in supporting the communities where we operate and driving sustainable development by investing in people.
In partnership with the Municipality of Mejillones and ASIMET, Molycop Chile has launched the second phase of the Automation and PLC Course, a free program designed to provide local residents with technical skills that can boost their employability in today’s competitive job market.

By focusing on key industries in the region, our initiative opens new opportunities for participants to secure skilled jobs and improve their quality of life.

Empowering future talent in Mejillones

Seventeen local residents from Mejillones are taking part in the course to develop technical expertise in automation and programmable logic controllers (PLCs), skills that are increasingly sought after across multiple industries. The course not only provides theoretical knowledge but also hands-on experience, ensuring participants are prepared for the modern workforce.

This initiative reflects our belief that investing in people is key to the long-term success of the communities in which we operate. By offering programs like this, we aim to equip individuals with the skills they need to succeed and contribute to their local economies.

A broader commitment to positive influence

At Molycop, our influence extends beyond our direct operations. By collaborating with local governments and industry associations, like the Municipality of Mejillones and ASIMET, we can amplify our positive impacts. The Automation and PLC Course is one of many ways we are supporting the sustainable development of the regions we work in.

Through targeted, community-focused initiatives, we aim to promote economic growth and social wellbeing. By helping local residents gain access to better job opportunities, we support both individual progress and the broader development of Mejillones as a centre for skilled labour.

Investing in the future of the community

Molycop remains committed to supporting initiatives that promote education, employability and economic resilience in all the regions where we operate. The work of our team in Chile, alongside local partners, ensures that the benefits of industrial progress are shared with the community.
