GRO Oilfield Alliance calls for industry-specific training to empower graduates in oil and gas sector

At the 2024 Local Content and Exploration Conference in Takoradi, GRO Oilfield Alliance General Manager Akpene Sunu emphasized the need for specialized training in Ghana's oil and gas industry to bridge the gap between education and employment.

He noted that graduates often lack practical experience crucial for securing jobs. The government’s local content policy aims to enhance Ghanaian participation and promote job creation.

Petroleum Commission CEO Egbert Isaac Faible Jnr highlighted the importance of local content regulations for value addition and technology transfer.

The conference also featured Ruth Ebela Kwofie, an inspiring female engineering trainee, encouraging women to pursue careers in the sector.
