Petronas continues to support development of O&G talent
KUALA LUMPUR: Petronas has introduced a new apprenticeship programme for local semi-skilled oil and gas workers in partnership with the Construction Industry Development Board (CIDB) and participating Oil & Gas Services & Equipment (OGSE) contractors.
In a statement yesterday, the national oil company said the participants would first attend
CIDB’s training institution, namely Akademi Binaan Malaysia before undergoing an apprenticeship programme at 16 Petronas contractors’ facilities in Sabah, Sarawak and Terengganu.
“This collaboration serves as a platform for the training and certification of youths to have the required skills for the industry, funnelling them into employment to ensure a sustainable pipeline of skilled talents for the sustenance and continuity of operations.
“Petronas is providing a great opportunity for youths in Sabah, Sarawak and Terengganu to be employed in the industry in their respective states, in the spirit of giving back to the community,” Petronas project delivery and technology, senior vicepresident Samsudin Miskon said.
He said the programme is part of Petronas’ continuous effort to shape the industry through capability-building initiatives and collaborations with various enablers to improve the ecosystem in which local OGSE players can increase their resilience and competitiveness.
Human capital development is one of the initiatives under Petronas’ Lestari programme -- a solution and collaborative platform to strengthen the OGSE ecosystem.
