Appea welcomes WA investment in training
PERTH (miningweekly.com) – The Australian Petroleum Production and Exploration Association (Appea) on Friday welcomed the Western Australian state government’s A$15-million investment into a new specialist engineering training centre, south of Perth.
The state government’s investment, which was announced as part of the budget, would double the yearly training capacity at the Challenger Institute of Technology’s Australian Centre for Energy and Process Training from 900 students to 1 800 students.
Appea’s Western Region COO Stedman Ellis said on Friday that the facility would enhance Western Australia’s growing reputation as a centre for excellence for offshore oil and gas and liquefied natural gas processing.
He added that the new facility would help train Australia’s future oil and gas workforce as projects transition from construction to operations and maintenance.
“The number of operational jobs in the oil and gas sector is forecast to increase by almost 60% over the next five years when most of the A$200-billion worth of projects under construction move into production,” Ellis said.
“Investing in state-of-the-art training facilities helps ensure Australians develop the skills needed to secure these highly skilled, well-paid jobs of the future.”
