In his speech at the ceremony, Datu Rosmadi said: “We are indeed thankful that despite the numerous challenges faced by the industry globally, PETRONAS remains unwavering in its commitment towards investing in education and human capital development particularly in the Sabah state.”

This includes the setting up of KTC, construction of MRSM Ranau, annual award of the PETRONAS Education Sponsorship Programme for students to pursue tertiary education, Vocational Institutions Sponsorship and Training Assistance (VISTA) programme with five identified institutions in the state which aims to develop the technical and vocational capabilities of Sabahan youths, as well as other numerous programmes that serve the major aim to nurture talents for the state and the nation, he said.

Chief Executive Officer of PETRONAS Technical Training Sdn Bhd, En. Idris Ibrahim, said KTC was set up in 2011 as part of PETRONAS corporate social responsibility programme in Sabah to support the state’s human capital development, particularly in the oil and gas industry.

“KTC is committed to developing and equipping the youths of Sabah with the necessary qualifications and skills required to enroll in the oil and gas industry,” he said at the KTC convocation ceremony.

Also present were Secretary of Home Affairs and Research, Datuk Awang Shaminan Awang Sahari; Head of Human Capital Investment, PETRONAS Group Human Resource Management, Syed Mohamad Muhafiz Syed Bakar; and Head of PETRONAS Sabah and Labuan, Siti Ayu Abdul Wahab.

KTC is the first institution in Sabah to be recognised as an Accredited Centre by the Department of Skills Development under the Ministry of Human Resources. It offers a three-year full-time diploma-level training in Industrial Instrumentation & Control System – Monitoring & Control (Level 4), Diploma Kemahiran Malaysia (DKM).

Quoting one of the few female graduates, Syra Olivia Rayner, she mentioned about the importance of the vital processes learnt in KTC in performing her tasks in the oil & gas industry. Syra secured a job as an instrumentation technician for a local company in offshore projects quickly after her completion of the training programme, which proves the credibility of a KTC graduate in the Oil & Gas industry.

“Being the only female at my workplace, it is not difficult for me to adjust to my new working environment including working on platforms, because I love working outdoors. Working in oil and gas industry demands teamwork spirit since our skills improvement requires helps from others,” she explained.
