… recommends strategic investments in training programmes to accelerate employment growth in Uganda

 

Thelma Tokunbo

Petroleum Technology Association of Nigeria (PETAN) has pledged to support Uganda’s budding oil and gas industry through human capacity development initiatives, calling for investments in training programs that will help catalyze employment for Ugandans in their budding oil and gas industry.

Engr. Wole Ogunsanya, Chairman of PETAN made the pledged while addressing guests as a keynote speaker at the second annual Oil and Gas Skills Expo organised by the Petroleum Authority of Uganda (PAU) at the Kyambogo University.

Ogunsanya pointed out that the importance of continuous learning and upskilling in the rapidly evolving oil and gas sector should be emphasized and he called for investments in training programs that equip individuals with the necessary skills to thrive in the industry.

According to him “Investing in structured training programs can be achieved by strategically allocating resources to develop a diverse range of skills amongst participants.

” One effective approach is to collaborate with educational institutions and industry experts to design tailored training courses that address the workforce’s specific needs.

Also, he noted that creating mentorship programs, on-the-job training initiatives, internship opportunities, and continuous learning platforms can help upcoming players enhance their expertise and stay abreast of industry advancements.

“PETAN, with members offering technical oilfield services across the entire value chain of the oil and gas industry, actually has about thirteen technology interest groups we call TIGs that run training programmes in their areas of expertise including marine; health, safety, and environment; Engineering, Fabrication, and Construction; automation; well engineering; Geological/Geophysical, to mention a few.

“We are supporting fellow African countries with the realization that fostering a culture that values learning, and professional development will not only attract top local talents to revolutionize the energy landscape, building a pipeline of skilled talents but also retain skilled employees who are essential for driving innovation and growth in the sector to ensure the industry’s sustainability.

“As such and as partners, PETAN is ready to support Uganda with training and human capacity development opportunities under our existing Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with the Ugandan National Oil Company (UNOC) in efforts to deepen local content practices in our countries’ oil and gas and linkage industries”, Engr.Ogunsanya said.
