Prime Minister, Brigadier (Ret’d) Mark Phillips said the Government intends to continuously bolster investments in human capital to build local content capacity and foster a sustainable future for all Guyanese.
He made the remarks while attending the official launch of the US$20 million 3T EnerMech Guyana Training Centre of Excellence and graduation ceremony at the company’s headquarters in Lusignan, East Coast Demerara.
The Prime Minister noted that the launch of the petroleum training facility would enhance Guyana’s human resource development.
“A crucial factor to the success of our nation lies in our people. We must ensure that we utilise the benefits of the oil and gas sector to build a bright future for the next generation of Guyanese and beyond. To do that, we must undertake a culture of ownership, a culture where our local content – our people – can thrive and that includes within the workforce itself.”
The training facility, Guyana’s premier in-country, state-of-the-art facility, is a collaborative venture between 3t EnerMech, Orinduik Development Incorporated and Windsor Technologies.
