Knowledge, Learning, Community

Learning and development in the oil and gas industry is in the spotlight these days as the industry rides out the downturn, retools, and pays more attention to productivity and staff development. In this post Susan Smith Nash interviews Braulio Perdigao from Petrolessons (the oil and gas industry has a comprehensive training and development network with a lot of collaboration across companies). "I noticed the common thread around training, skills gap which in oil and gas is called The Big Crew Change," said Perdigao. "There is so much project intelligence that is lost, over 4MM professionals leaving the industry in the next 5 years and over 1.8MM coming in and there is a huge gap here. The knowledge gap in O&G is due to a hiring freeze between the 80's and early 2000's, and it represents a MAJOR challenge for the industry."
