Institut Teknologi Petroleum PETRONAS (INSTEP) has added Senegal to the map of its international presence, when both INSTEP and Institut National du Pétrole et du Gaz (INPG) entered into a strategic partnership, with six learners from the first cohort being sent to INSTEP for a 22-week customised on-the-job training as part of INPG Petroleum Engineering Master Programme.
INPG is established by the State of Senegal in 2017 to develop human capabilities and employment of the Senegalese in the oil & gas sectors especially in activities related to exploitations, production and management of resources.
“I believe in on-the-job training, and how the theories can be applied from powerpoint to power plant. INSTEP has an entire value chain that motivated me to send my people over for training.” Said Mr. Aguibou Ba, Executive Director of INPG.
This training programme will be conducted at INSTEP Upstream Downstream Training Plant (UDTP), and live PETRONAS Plants. All learners are required to complete their master thesis based on the case study given during their attachment.
“INSTEP UDTP simulates real plant scenarios in a safe environment, allowing learners to have rooms for mistake, and from these mistakes, they can learn how to correct those mistakes, giving them confidence in future plant operations,” said Mr. Idris Ibrahim, Chief Executive Officer of PETRONAS Technical Training Sdn Bhd.
In delivering our value of ‘industry & technology driven technical learning solutions,’ this customised on-the-job training will render a holistic understanding and accelerate the learners’ competency development through experiential learning.
“As Senegal is new to the oil & gas industry, this training programme will serve as a perfect avenue for the learners to not only learn, but also to exchange knowledge between Malaysia and Senegal,” said Mr. Aguibou, as he was excited with the commence of a prolonged strategic partnership between INSTEP and INPG. Striving to become “A progressive solutions partner enriching energy workforce for a sustainable future,” INSTEP is confident in progressively empowering human capital development in Senegal.
