Contractors with ISA have a legal obligation to provide and fund training opportunities for personnel from developing States and those of ISA.
The legal basis for the requirement stems from the provisions of UNCLOS and the 1994 Agreement and is set out in the standard terms of contracts. Its purpose is to ensure that personnel from developing States are provided with appropriate operational expertise to enable them to participate in deep seabed mining.
The training programme is generally formulated following negotiations between ISA and the contractor and included as schedule 3 of the contract for exploration.
All short-term training opportunities for suitable candidates from developing States provided by ISA Contractors will be listed on this site.
