Abstract
MOTSOENENG, D.; SCHULTZ, C. and BEZUIDENHOUT, A.. Validation of training priorities of engineers in the platinum mining industry in South Africa. S. Afr. J. Ind. Eng. [online]. 2015, vol.26, n.3, pp.1-11. ISSN 2224-7890. http://dx.doi.org/dx.doi.org/10.7166/26-3-1163.
Despite a significant need, there is very little South African research on the validation of the generic training priorities of engineers within the platinum mining industry. The purpose of this study was to validate the generic training priorities of engineers in the platinum mining industry in three provinces in South Africa. For this study, a quantitative research design was used, a four-point Likert-type questionnaire was designed, and a purposive sample was used. The results of this study indicated that theoretical knowledge, technical skills, management skills, and engineering principles are generic training priorities.
