STELCO Launches In-House Trainers Pool to Strengthen Workforce Capacity

In a move to enhance internal training and knowledge-sharing within the organization, the State Electric Company (Stelco) has officially launched its In-House Trainers Pool, awarding 35 employees with Stelco Certified Trainer Licenses.

The initiative was inaugurated today by Stelco Managing Director Hussain Fahmy, who described the program as a milestone in developing a skilled, self-reliant workforce. Speaking at the launch ceremony, Fahmy emphasized the importance of utilizing the knowledge, skills, and experience already present within the company to build greater institutional capacity.

“This program reflects our commitment to upskilling our employees by recognizing and utilizing the talent we already have,” Fahmy said. “By investing in our own people, we are ensuring sustainable growth and service excellence, regardless of external challenges.”

The newly formed trainers pool consists of employees from diverse sectors of the company, including engineering, technical services, administration, human resources, security, media, and public relations. All 35 trainers have completed the internationally recognized “Train the Trainer” certification and have now been formally licensed to conduct internal training under Stelco’s framework.

In addition to the certification ceremony, Stelco also launched a comprehensive handbook outlining the training modules and guidelines that will be used by the pool. According to company officials, the handbook will serve as a central resource for planning and delivering staff development sessions across departments.

Stelco noted that this is only the first phase of the initiative. Plans are already underway to expand the trainers pool by certifying more employees at the international level. The goal, officials said, is to create a robust in-house training ecosystem that supports continuous professional development and service efficiency.

The program is part of a broader effort by Stelco to maintain high operational standards and improve employee competencies without over-reliance on external training providers particularly significant at a time when public companies are facing budgetary constraints.
