50 young men of the National
Skills Development Programme (NSDP), which is
managed by the Metal Industries Company Limited,
Laventille, visited NGC on Friday 1st May 2009.
This visit was undertaken as part of their
Journeymen Trainee Programme. Hosted at the neighboring, PLIPDECO House Communications
Centre, they received presentations on NGC and
the Natural Gas Industry of Trinidad and Tobago
from members of the Public Education, Corporate
Communications.
The young men expressed great interest in the
topics discussed, especially with regard to the
new projects carded to come on stream. The group
clearly appreciated this information, since new
projects meant an expansion of the industry, and
this translated into job opportunities of which
they could take advantage. |
They were also treated to a tour of the industrial
estate which was a first for all the trainees. Most said
that the tour served as an eye-opener to the realities of
the energy industry in Trinidad and stated that information
received was quite pertinent to their area of study.
It was refreshing to host the group who exhibited such
overwhelming enthusiasm. The team at NGC felt privileged to
see young men so eager about the future awaiting them on
leaving school. The entire energy industry clearly stands to
benefit from the work of the NSDP with the young men and
women of Trinidad and Tobago. |
