21st-CENTURY JOBS: TRAINING EMPLOYEES FOR A DIGITAL AGE
As automation, digitization, and advances in AI continue to disrupt the way we work, the skills needed to succeed in this new era are in short supply, creating a new global battle for talent. It’s more vital than ever for companies to invest in “upskilling” existing employees. With what toolkits do we arm current workers so they can compete and flourish in this new terrain? How can companies train future talent and build skills through real-world experience? What can leaders do to ensure that underserved demographics get the skills needed to create long-lasting careers?

An African food experience in the Victoria Falls area is found at Dusty Road township restaurant in Chinotimba – a community near Victoria Falls – where women have been upskilled in every element of providing an authentic restaurant meal. That means cooking, waitressing, bar duties, greeting guests, answering the phone and even accounting. Much of the local produce has medicinal properties used widely for self-medication, like the leaves from the moringa ‘miracle’ tree, whose superfood qualities boost ‘tired blood’, and tea from the resurrection bush, which has anti-aging benefits. Baobab powder gives a citrusy tang to smoothies and desserts, and is packed with antioxidants and a healthy dose of vitamins and minerals. When faced with a menu offering indumba hummus, mongongo nut balls, and mnyi berry juice, throw caution to the wind and give the tastes of Africa a try.

Zoe Johnsen
Zoe Johnsen began her mining career in 2008 as a trainee operator.
After a few setbacks in her training, Zoe was determined to improve the quality of operator instruction.
“The crew supervisors, training department and I implemented important changes to the trainee training program so that all trainees after me could receive higher quality training,” said Zoe.
“Now, before being authorised as competent, it is necessary to complete time observing from the passenger seat of every piece of loading equipment. Both myself and (colleague) Don are proud to have accomplished a meaningful change for trainees.”
Zoe’s initiative resulted in her being promoted to a trainer/assessor role where she has coordinated a training plan for women to help them transition to a new working environment.
“Something that is deeply meaningful to me and others in my circle is spreading awareness around the LGBTQIA+ community. I started volunteering my time with the LGBTQIA+ youth and began mentoring youths outside of the support groups.
“I endeavour to be a voice for all women in mining and I represent the capability of Thiess’s women with pride when I wear my uniform.
“Through my contribution to the development of training programs, I hope to better the education and upskilling offered to women in order to enrich their careers and the wider industry.
“By making training more comprehensive and imparting more knowledge, it aims to encourage the long-term retention of more women. By sharing the journey that I have been on throughout my career and my achievements, I hope to empower women to seek parity and opportunity.”
