19 February 2024, Georgetown, Guyana; TOTALTEC is proud to announce its collaboration with Skills Assurance, a leading provider of eLearning training solutions, to introduce comprehensive eLearning packages tailored for Guyanese companies working in, and supporting the energy sector. Leveraging the Skills Assurance extensive catalog of more than 200 courses, TOTALTEC has a particular aim to enhance worker safety standards, contributing to a strong safety culture, critical for Guyana energy sector success.
Standard and Customized eLearning Training Packages
The partnership will have TOTALTEC offer both standard and customized training packages. Standard packages have been developed for the following major Guyanese industries, and include from 12 to 15 courses covering various aspects of industry-specific knowledge and safety protocols.
Onshore/Offshore
Industrial
Construction
Hospitality
The development of ‘company specific’ customized eLearning packages is also offered, which is important due to the diversity of companies requiring training and their varying maturities.
TOTALTEC CEO Lars Mangal expressed enthusiasm for the collaboration, stating, "Through easily accessed, comprehensive eLearning packages, managers of both local and international companies can ensure workforce competence and project skills compliance. Individual competencies are tracked, can be managed at individual and team levels, including for specific work projects, with prompts for ‘training refreshing’”.
Complementary Training Offerings Focus on Safety
Recognizing the critical importance of safety in the workplace, the course packages include a strong emphasis on best practices, human behavior, and regulations. By prioritizing safety, TOTALTEC aims to foster a culture of safety awareness, which ExxonMobil and the major service companies continue their work to build.
Mangal continued, “Our partnership with Skills Assurance marks a significant milestone in our training services, and is the perfect compliment to our ongoing classroom and practical offerings. Those began in 2018 and have now provided training to more than 3,000 attendees.”
One of the important features of Skills Assurance's eLearning training programs is its close relationship with Petrofac, a globally recognized leader in the energy industry service sector. Petrofac provides direct operational and project management experience input to the training programs, ensuring they are up to date on the most recent advances.
The launch of eLearning training programs underscores the TOTALTEC dedication to building capacity in Guyana, aligned with the vision of the government.
