STEM Guyana tags oil companies’ support as being key to its mission in Guyana

With training in STEM-related subjects having been tagged as being an important ‘ingredient’ in the overall local training curriculum if the country is to meet the skills requirements demanded by the country’s oil and gas industry, STEM Guyana Director Karen Abrams has tagged the support of the oil and gas sector, particularly Tullow Oil in providing “funding and resources for the organization” as it seeks to consolidate the work it has done over the years to development a robust local STEM curriculum.

In a New Year Message which described 2022 as year of both “challenges” and “opportunities,” Abrams attributed “the support of funding and resources” including Tullow Oil as being key to the accomplishments of the organization. The Message also names the Inter-American Development Bank (IDB) as well as “members of the Guyanese diaspora” as key contributors to the furtherance of the objectives of STEM Guyana during the year that has just ended.
