The training was designed to provide participants with the knowledge, skills and motivation needed to develop the competence to operate equipment safely and professionally, while also creating equal opportunities for women to develop their skills in operational roles. These competencies are expected to serve as valuable foundations for expanding participants’ employment opportunities, both at PT MMS and other companies, in line with the skills they gained during the training.

The programme will run for one and a half months, with PT MMS serving as the training provider and delivering instruction throughout the programme. Before beginning practical training on the equipment, participants will receive foundational training in HSE Induction and Basic Occupational Health and Safety (K3) from the Occupational Health and Safety (OHS) team. The next stage will cover familiarisation with the training area and the equipment to be used throughout the learning process.

One of the participants, Juliana Fransiska Rambe from Sipenggeng Village, expressed her gratitude for the opportunity to take part in the programme. She said the compactor operator training not only provided new skills and experience, but also served as valuable preparation for increasing her employment prospects. She hopes the competencies she gains will enable her to work as an operator while contributing to her family’s economic wellbeing.

Through this collaboration, Agincourt Resources continues to support the development of community competencies around its operational area. The skills gained are expected to extend beyond the training itself, providing participants with a foundation to take greater steps towards independence and open up new opportunities for the future.

As part of humanitarian support, Agincourt Resources, together with PT Macmahon Mining Services (MMS), deployed heavy equipment to assist infrastructure recovery simultaneously across several affected areas. This deployment aimed to reopen roads, clear landslide debris, and support the rehabilitation of the environment and community facilities.

In Garoga Village, Batang Toru Subdistrict, heavy equipment was focused on reopening roads blocked by landslide material, filling in subsided road sections, and reshaping safe routes for residents and aid teams. Additionally, support was provided for the revitalisation of the Garoga River, previously blocked by timber and mud carried by the flash floods. Clearing the river channel aimed to restore water flow and reduce the risk of secondary disasters.

At the same time, heavy equipment support was also provided in Tobotan and Tanopongol Villages, West Angkola Subdistrict, as well as in Marancar Subdistrict. In these areas, the equipment was used to open and repair affected roads, ensuring smoother mobility for residents, logistics vehicles, and emergency services.

Meanwhile, in Bandar Hapinis, Muara Hutaraja Subdistrict, heavy machinery was deployed to restore inter-regional road access that had been cut off. Restoring this access served as a vital route for community activities and facilitated the distribution of aid and essential needs for affected residents.

Beyond the restoration of roads and rivers, Agincourt Resources also supported the provision of temporary housing for disaster-affected residents. Through the deployment of heavy equipment, land clearing, soil preparation, and the organisation of temporary housing sites and supporting facilities were carried out. Overall, the construction of 267 temporary housing units is planned, with 70 units in the initial phase targeted for immediate occupancy.
