A Master Service Agreement (MSA) was signed between Universiti Malaysia Pahang (UMP) and PETRONAS Technical Training Sdn Bhd (PTTSB) that owns Institut Teknologi Petroleum PETRONAS (INSTEP) on 19 June at the state-of-the-art training centre in Batu Rakit, Terenggnanu.
The agreement was honourably signed by Vice Chancellor of UMP, Prof. Dato’ Ts. Dr Yuserrie Zainuddin and Chief Executive Officer of PETRONAS Technical Training Sdn Bhd, Idris Ibrahim.
Also present at the signing ceremony are Director of Centre for Strategic Academic Collaboration UMP, Associate Professor Ts. Dr. Mohd Ruzaimi Mat Rejab, Dean of Faculty of Chemical and Process Engineering Technology, Prof. Ts. Dr. Che Ku Muhammad Faizal Che Ku Yahya, INSTEP Head of Marketing & Sales Division, Mohd Asri Omar, senior officers and guests from the industries, INSTEP and UMP.
The agreement marks a concrete joint collaboration between both parties covering areas in training, capability development and projects in which the utilisation of the game-changing live training plant at INSTEP, Upstream Downstream Training Plant (UDTP) is part of the value added.
Commenting on the MSA, Prof. Dato’ Ts Dr. Yuserrie said, “The Industrial Revolution 4.0 (IR 4.0) has given a new impetus to educational transformation. It demands changes in the contents of education, especially in technical education.
“The strategic partnership between UMP and PTTSB has started with a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) in 2016, followed by a Mutual Service Agreement (MSA) inked in 2018, which saw the delivery of MSc in Process Plant Operation modules with experiential hands-on learning provided by INSTEP.
“Throughout the years, the MSc programme governed by the Faculty of Chemical and Process Engineering Technology has gained abundant benefits from the undoubted commitment from both parties through various meetings and workshops, information exchange, promotion initiatives, as well as hands-on training for the lecturers and enrolled students,” he added in his remarks during the signing ceremony.
Meanwhile, he is grateful that the MSc in Process Plant Operation programme has obtained full accreditation from Malaysian Qualification Agency (MQA) in November 2019.
At the same time, both parties agreed to continue with the MSc in Process Plant Operation Programme
and to extend the collaboration in providing more training for industries including in areas of Robotic Technology, Drone, and Solar which UMP have the expertise.
Idris in his remarks said, “Our modules and programmes are designed to provide experiential learning at UDTP, with its ability to simulate real onshore and offshore plant environment. Learners’ problem-solving skills are put to test, and the lesson learnt from the hands-on exposure will prevent errors from happening when they operate in live plant in the future.
“In delivering our value of industry & technology-driven technical learning solution, we at INSTEP will continue to play our vital role in accelerating the competency development and customising training programmes, in line with our aspiration to be a progressive energy solutions partner enriching energy workforce for a sustainable future,” Idris added.
The continuation of this strategic partnership has nurtured a positive impact to the public, especially related to knowledge sharing, professional and capability development. It also focuses on several areas which include Capability Development and Training Programs, Competency Assessment and Management, Joint Training Courses, Training Facilities, Technical, Technology, Personnel, Familiarisation Programme and Software Support.
As learning and development is the core of our business, we always put Customer Centricity in our way to continuously upskilling technical workforce. Through this strategic partnership, INSTEP is committed in accelerating competency development through experiential learning to prepare competent workforce, enriching the lives of graduates for a sustainable future.
Prior signing ceremony, the UMP delegates had the opportunity to visit the INSTEP Hall of Fame Gallery, during which Prof. Dato’ Ts Dr. Yuserrie remarked his experience and impression on the INSTEP Wall of Fame upon his enriching visit to INSTEP.
