Twenty-five students drawn from five of the country’s administrative regions are participating in the first ever programme in oil and gas operations by the Guyana Trades Union Congress-administered Critchlow Labour College, which commenced at the College’s Woolford Avenue Complex yesterday.
General Secretary of the GTUC, Lincoln Lewis who is Chairperson of the College’s Board of Directors told Stabroek Business earlier this week that the significance of the two-day programme reposed in the commitment of the College “to remain in the mainstream of relevant education notwithstanding the challenges. At the moment few things can be more relevant to the national curriculum than oil and gas, Lewis told this newspaper. He said that he believed that government should support the College as it pursues other programmes “down the road.”
The programme, which provides intensive briefings in eleven oil and gas-related areas is being offered with the support of two regional entities, Apollo Global Vision Ltd and Kaizen Environmental Services, both headquartered in Trinidad and Tobago.
