Apprenticeship Programs Opens up New Vistas for National Staff Training

摘要

Difficulty in finding technically qualified local resources that fit the drilling specific industry require- ments is a global reality.This challenge also applies when searching for technically qualified expatriate resources in the global market especially in these days of unprecedented surge in drilling activity.With more owners chasing a small pool of experienced qualified technical staff the situation is attractive for the employee in the short term but is not helping the industry and certainly not fulfilling sustainability aspirations.The situation is further complicated due the fact that the skills demanded by some positions in the drilling industry are not typically taught in universities and colleges.Training institutions are few and the demand remains high.
