3t EnerMech, a strategic alliance between 3T Energy group and EnerMech, has won a contract with the UK government, which will help to shape future training requirements for Mozambiques oil and gas workforce
3t EnerMech, the newly launched joint venture combines the expertise of EnerMech and 3t Energy Group, which owns leading energy sector training organisations 3t Transform, drilling systems, survivex and AIS Training.
The project will see the partnership provide evidence-based analysis into the current oil and gas skills training of Mozambican Technical and Vocational Education and Training (TVET) institutions, comparing this to international standards to identify any existing gaps.
Managed jointly by not-for-profit energy industry skills body OPITO and the Engineering Construction Industry Training Board (ECITB), the scheme includes four key disciplines of electrical maintenance, mechanical maintenance, process operations, instrumentation, and control maintenance.
Experienced personnel from 3t EnerMech’s UK and Mozambique premises will conduct the research, generating procedures and guidelines to build TVET institutions and courses which achieve ECITB and OPITO standards and accreditation.
3t EnerMech vice-president Andrew Noble said, “The formation of 3t EnerMech combines our respective knowledge, experience and global reach to deliver training and technologies which create safer, smarter and more sustainable workforces. A core aim of the partnership is to engage with local regions to develop local content and ultimately deliver more highly skilled global workers. Winning this significant piece of work in support of Mozambique’s local content development strategy is of major importance to the new alliance and its strategic objectives.
“Mozambique is a significant player in the global oil and gas market and with activity continuing to ramp up, the country requires a robust, skilled workforce to support new long-term projects. This study will play a key role in future training and development programmes in the country and we look forward to delivering the data it presents,” he added.
