Institut Teknologi Petroleum PETRONAS (INSTEP) continues its seventeen years of commitment towards international technical cooperation under the Malaysian Technical Cooperation Programme (MTCP). The program which officially launched at the Commonwealth Heads of State Meeting in 1980 constitutes Malaysia’s commitment towards promoting technical cooperation under the south-south spirit.
INSTEP Chief Executive Officer, Mr. Idris Ibrahim said: “The evolution of oil and gas industry is dynamic and unpredictable, but in the spirit of Courage to Act, there shall remain further opportunities to strengthen regional collaboration and leverage on our experiences and expertise in developing talents in the volatile industry.”
He also pointed out that human capital development is pivotal for oil and gas industry to survive. Being PETRONAS technical learning solutions partner, INSTEP plays a big role in accelerating the agility and shifting the culture and mindset to shape empowered, agile, and enabled talents to accommodate current and future industrial needs.
Recently, with the theme ‘Managing Global Talents in Oil & Gas Industry’, INSTEP organised the virtual Conference & Dialogue 2021 which attracted 30 participants from Uzbekistan, Ecuador, Azerbaijan, Timor-Leste Sudan. Through a virtual classroom concept, the forum provides a platform to the participants to exchange experiences and challenges in the Oil & Gas industry in their respective localities and brainstormed strategic plans to meet the demand of the volatile industry.
Speaking at the conference, Assistant Secretary of International Cooperation and Development Division (ICADD), Ministry of Foreign Affairs (MOFA), Siti Aishah Kamarul Abdul Wahid, said that the conference serves as a platform to network and discuss on development experiences and expertise with other developing countries.
“I applaud INSTEP for providing the exposure and opportunity for participants to acquire their roles in the continued development of industry competencies.”
One of the main players in MTCP, Mr. Wan Zulfakrurazi B Wan Abd Majid, witnessed the growth and relentless effort of INSTEP in the development of third world countries.
The Head of INSTEP Maintenance Academy, hail from Felda Chalok, Terengganu, is proud of Malaysia’s achievement in sharing our technologies to the third world countries. He, whom was entrusted as part of the team to formulate topics and contents to be shared in the MTCP sessions in INSTEP, could not hide his pride seeing the young engineers and officers from government and authorities at respective countries learn and appreciate Malaysia’s technical expertise.
“When I joined INSTEP in 1991 as an instructor, Malaysia was in dire need of local talents in oil & gas industry. The year 2004 was a major breakthrough for INSTEP. After 23 years of establishment, INSTEP spreads its wings to the international arena to support PETRONAS’ growth and develop local talents in other developing countries such as Sudan and Turkmenistan,” said Mr. Wan Zul who was one of the stalwarts who established a technical training centre in Khartoum State, Sudan.
“Malaysia is no longer a technology follower, but we are now the leader who shares our technology and knowledge abroad.” said Mr. Wan Zul, who will be celebrating his retirement next month after 30 years of services for INSTEP.
