Oil & Gas University Trains a New Generation of African Engineers
While there is no shortage of natural oil and gas on the continent. There is, however, a shortage of skills and experience in the sector. To address the shortage, multinational companies like GE are working hard to empower local people by building valuable skills, and helping to ensure the sustainable development in countries like Tanzania. More about GE in Africa in this BRIEFING.
Currently Tanzania lacks an adequate number of drillers, engineers, managers, and production and operation workers to support the industry. This need for skills and training is a driving force behind ... engineers from the Tanzanian Petroleum Development Corporation (TPDC) joining other international participants in a four-month training programme at GE Oil & Gas University in Italy.
