Tullow establishes Takoradi Polytechnic training centre in Ghana for local development
Friday, Nov 04, 2011
The Government of Ghana’s goal to see more locals trained with necessary skills related to the oil and gas sector has been given a boost with the Jubilee Technical Training Centre being established at the Takoradi Polytechnic.
The centre, being funded by Tullow Oil and Jubilee partners will cost US$3.5 million and is due to be completed in eleven months. It is hoped the centre will create world class human resource in-line with both local and foreign demand in the oil and gas sector.
Work has already begun for the construction to commence.
The centre is a result of studies that established a lack of investment in technical training and also the equipment and facilities needed to support this type of vocational education.
