INSTEP Strengthens Technical Cooperation Among Developing Countries

Posted date: 14 September 2019

Anchoring on our Statement of Purpose – “A progressive energy and solutions partner enriching lives for a sustainable future”, 29 August 2019 witnessed the successful completion of Malaysian Technical Cooperation Programme (MTCP) 2019, with 10 learners coming from different corners of the world: Ghana, Laos, Malawi, Nigeria, Senegal, Tanzania, Mauritius, Zimbabwe, and Brunei. 

Through MTCP, Institut Teknologi Petroleum PETRONAS (INSTEP) becomes part of the commitment of the Malaysian Government in promoting technical cooperation among developing countries, strengthening regional & sub-regional cooperation, and nurturing collective self-reliance among developing countries. Since its inception in 1980, more than 33,000 participants from 144 recipient countries have benefited from various programmes offered by INSTEP.

Flying from the distant corners of the world, they were excited to embark on a transformational learning experience at INSTEP!

This time around, the basic training for Plant Operation programme was designed for learners who have minimal knowledge of plant operation and to provide industry specific knowledge and technical gap closure through exposure to upstream & downstream industries, and plant operations. Utilising face-to-face learning in classroom, hands-on training at practical workshops, and On-the-Job Training at Upstream Downstream Training Plant (UDTP), INSTEP blended learning approach, coupled with its state-of-the-art facilities and certified instructors have provided learners with experiential learning to accelerate their competency development.

Besides enriching their technical knowledge, a series of exciting activities were lined up for them to embrace wholesome learning experience through having a taste of Malaysian’s local attractions and culture. During the weekends, they enjoyed a dip in the pristine water of Redang Island, swimming alongside schools of fish and turtles, immersing in the beauty of Terengganu. They were awed by the majestic PETRONAS Twin Towers and drowned in the city’s hustle and bustle.

This 2-week learning experience was truly memorable for the learners as they experienced a rich flavour of oil & gas training and Malaysian culture & attractions. The trust on INSTEP as Malaysia’s preferred technical solutions partner continues as we welcome another batch of MTCP learners next year, empowering talents of tomorrow for a sustainable future.
