25 energy workforce from Santos Limited, Papua New Guinea have arrived safely at Kuala Terengganu on 20 June 2022, full with excitement and anticipation for their 10-month Apprentice Training Programme at Institut Teknologi Petroleum PETRONAS (INSTEP).
The arrival of 25 technicians from Papua New Guinea at Sultan Mahmud Airport, Terengganu.
These learners are the 2nd batch of 10-month Apprentice Training Programme specially curated for Santos’ technicians to upskill their technical competency.
The training programme is customised and designed to produce skilled workers in plant processes, utility operations, equipment operations and product shipment. Learners are provided with fit-for-future technical knowledge and specific industrial experiences, giving them an inter-disciplinary base to foster interaction among the different engineering specialisations.
The learners come from 3 different trades: Production (14 learners), Electrical (6 learners), and Instrumentation (5 learners). The customised training programme inculcates blended learning solutions coupled with the world-class facilities and academic workshops facilitated by international-certified instructors in INSTEP, as well as embedded the occupational HSSE discipline mindset and culture.
Anchoring to our tagline at INSTEP ‘Experiencing is Enriching’, the blended learning approach involves theoretical (face-to-face) learning in classroom, hands-on training at practical workshops equipped with the latest technology, as well as guided On Job Training (OJT) at Upstream Downstream Training Plant (UDTP) at INSTEP.
During the Induction Day on 21 June 2022, the learners experienced the campus environment at INSTEP through a quick tour and briefings on programmes, culture, and safety. Besides, they also had their first try on Terengganu local food!
Idris Ibrahim, Chief Executive Officer of INSTEP said as he welcomed the learners: “Experiential learning at UDTP is crucial for our learners who come to INSTEP to upskill their problem analytical skills and to accelerate their technical competency to become a safe and reliable plant operator. UDTP is one of a kind, as it is a live training plant which simulates plant scenarios in the real world using non-hazardous materials.”
“The lesson learnt from hands-on exposure prevents errors from happening in real plant operation in the future. INSTEP is thus designed to deliver the realms of technical knowledge and accelerate the competency development among the energy workforce to cater for the industry needs,” he added in his welcoming remarks.
As a trusted and preferred technical learning solutions provider with Customer Centricity in the heart of business, INSTEP strives to continuously enrich Papua New Guinea (PNG) local energy talents through experiential learning approach and wholesome campus experience. INSTEP continuously pushes its boundaries to provide innovative solutions to technical talents, allowing them to grow with their organisation and ultimately, the organisation will reach its full potential.
