US-based energy services provider, Halliburton has signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with the Egyptian Ministry of Petroleum & Mineral Resources (MoP) to support a specialised development programme for Egypt’s workforce in oil and gas sector.
The MoU, which aligns with the ministry’s Oil and Gas Modernisation Programme, is a collaborative agreement under which Halliburton will utilise its strength in human capital development to provide on-the-job training for Egyptians who show the potential to be future leaders in the oil and gas industry.
Additionally, the programme will be customised for selected participants to enhance their capabilities and assist Egypt in its role as a leading regional oil and gas hub. Read more: Finding the necessary talent to lead off-grid markets
