摘要

Success of any company depends on the ways its employees are developed. The ability and performance of the professionals play an important role. Emiratization department of ADCO has been working on developing the Fresh Graduates to a Professional Petro-technical expert over the years. This paper will focus on explaining the methodology and techniques used in the Graduate Development Program (GDP). Results of the GDP shown in the paper will prove the success of the GDP. Measurement of GDP success is achieved with set of metrics involving standard procedures, progress, communication, reporting, assessment & development. The performance of a GDP is measured with level as Awareness, Knowledge and Skills. The competencies on which GDP is assessed are based on Core, support, general and behavioral elements. Line Manager, Supervisor, Coach, Mentor, assessors and Verifier are roles played by senior employees in developing a GDP. There are other parameters which help a GDP to move from Entry point level to a core position after finishing 100% from the core elements. Implementation and validation of the GDP is calculated from the assessment process. Assignments are given to GDP employees on the basis of Awareness, Knowledge, and Skill, which the Entry Point employees have to complete during their development period. These levels have different elements which can be a Question, Observation and Product from the business. All the levels of the element are approved by supervisor, who also assesses the real work activities performed by GDP. Progress of GDP is done from entry level to an independent position. The methodology and calculation devised in the GDP can be useful for other Oil and Gas companies to develop the Graduate employees to experience level. This is in line with the nationalization policies that various companies are following. This paper has explained the methods and processes used to develop a fresh graduate to a next generation Petro-technical professional.
