Institut Teknologi Petroleum PETRONAS (INSTEP) celebrated the achievements of 73 graduates from the January 2024 intake of the Technical Energy Enrichment Programme (TEP) Plus Upstream, at Dewan Sri Gelam, INSTEP.
The 18-month programme, sponsored by PETRONAS Carigali Sdn Bhd (PCSB), comprised 73 participants: 43 from the Peninsular Malaysia Asset (PMA), 20 from the Sarawak Asset (SKA), and 10 from the Sabah Asset (SBA). Participants also engaged in hands on practical training at INSTEP’s facilities, including the Upstream Downstream Training Plant (UDTP), complemented by classroom-based learning and technical workshops.
To strengthen their industry readiness, participants earned globally recognised certifications such as the Authorized Entrant and Standby Person (AESP), Basic Offshore Safety Induction and Emergency Training (BOSIET), and OPITO: Basic Hydrogen Sulfide (H₂S) Training.
Meanwhile, trainees specialising in Electrical and Instrumentation received IECEx certification (International Electrotechnical Commission System for Certification to Standards Relating to Equipment for Use in Explosive Atmospheres), equipping them with the skills necessary to operate safely in high-risk environments.
“Programmes like TEP Plus reflect INSTEP’s and PETRONAS’ continued commitment to strengthening local technical talent and building a sustainable energy ecosystem. With strong support from strategic partners such as SBA, SKA, and PMA, we remain focused on investing in human capital as a key driver of future industry growth,” said Ts. Azhar Bin Ahmad, INSTEP Acting Chief Executive Officer.
Beyond technical skills, TEP Plus promotes holistic development, with activities ranging from sports and talent showcases to community engagement and spiritual programmes.
TEP Plus is a pre-employment sponsorship programme aimed at bridging the skills gap between diploma holders and industry needs. Participants underwent blended learning, competency based interviews, plant visits, and technical workshops, with a focus on Production, Instrumentation, Electrical, and Mechanical key areas aligned with the evolving energy sector.
TEP Plus reaffirms INSTEP’s unwavering commitment to developing competitive technical talents, in alignment with the aspiration to support the sustainable growth and resilience of the national energy industry. The programme forms part of PETRONAS’ efforts to build core technical competencies and a generative culture.
