Embracing our value proposition of “Accelerating competency development through experiential learning”, Institut Teknologi Petroleum PETRONAS (INSTEP) once again welcomed 18 Iraqi learners from EJADA project, which is part of European Union’s Corporate Social Responsibility to elevate the competency of Iraqis in oil & gas industry.
This is our second year receiving EJADA learners, with five batches of learners being sent to undergo competency based training. This 30-month project supports the Iraqi government’s effort in enhancing vocational training for oil & gas sector with focus on technical and field-based jobs for non-university graduates. This will enhance the competency of new Iraqi staff, thereby improving the efficiency & safety of the industry, and reducing reliance on expatriate workers.
INSTEP, as a Business and Technology Education Council (BTEC) approved training centre, offered the learners to undergo a 10-day BTEC Assessor Training & Certification Programme. They had to go through a 3-day intensive training workshop on competency assessment, followed by a competence portfolio with evidences of actual assessment on 2 learners for 2 approved units. At the end of this training programme, the candidates (as Assessors) who met the required BTEC quality standard will be awarded Edexcel Level 3 Award in Assessing Competence in the Work Environment (Q7000834). Prior to this batch, INSTEP has produced 2 batches of 35 EJADA learners, who have been successfully registered as BTEC workplace Assessors.
As an internationally accredited training centre, INSTEP has been entrusted to be the preferred technical learning solutions partner through preparing fit for future workforce, enriching lives for a sustainable future.
