A class at Aberdeen Skills and Enterprise Training (Aset) centre will today become the first group of ex-military personnel to complete its oil and gas process operations course.
With energy firms looking at new solutions to fill the industry’s skill gap, efforts have been made to bring in relevant skills from men and women who have left the armed forces.
The 16-week course in how to operate the type of oil and gas processing equipment found offshore was the first step in a two-year training programme set up by oil and gas company Apache.
A group of 11 finalists, aged 15-16, went head-to-head in an intense two-hour cook-off last monthto win three apprenticeships with offshore catering firm Entier.
