Volume 2 of the Getenergy Guides series explores the challenges of developing a technically competent workforce for the oil and gas sector globally. The cases in this Volume explore practical examples of the efforts of oil and gas companies, contractors, educational institutions and governments to develop competent, vocationally-trained employees for the industry.
Education and training are increasingly viewed as part of the core business of oil and gas companies operating in today?s high cost/high risk environment. This book will highlight the approaches which work and offer a framework against which future initiatives can be measured.
This second book in the Getenergy Guides series explores nine cases studies from around the world and offers commentary on each case drawn from Getenergy?s wealth of experience in uniting education and training providers and the upstream oil and gas industry on a global basis.
