Nearly 800 participants from leading companies in the energy sector have benefited from 38 courses held at the new Tamayoz programme facilities, ExxonMobil Qatar has said.
October marked one year since ExxonMobil Qatar inaugurated its Tamayoz training programme facilities at ExxonMobil Research Qatar, housed at Qatar Science and
Technology Park (QSTP) in Doha.
As the “first comprehensive programme of its kind in Qatar”, Tamayoz focuses on professional and personal development opportunities through six targeted critical competency areas: leadership and personal effectiveness; commercial; project management; operations excellence; technical (surface and subsurface) and safety,
health and the environment.
The courses are taught by global ExxonMobil subject-matter experts as well as local professionals.
“Nearly 800 participants from valued partner Qatar Petroleum, joint ventures RasGas and Qatargas, Tasweeq and Nakilat have benefited from the 38 technical, commercial and operational courses held at the new facilities,” ExxonMobil Qatar said in a statement.
QSTP, part of Qatar Foundation Research and Development, provides an “ideal location” for fostering the sharing of ideas and
expertise.
“As the Tamayoz training programme evolved, it became clear that it was having a far-reaching impact on our colleagues in Qatar’s energy industry,” said Alistair Routledge, president and general manager for ExxonMobil Qatar. “The facility was an extension of this support: we wanted to offer participants a state-of-the-art space where we could continue to help high-potential individuals hone new skills.”
Four intensive courses were offered at the new Tamayoz facilities in September and October this year.
Two sessions of the Leading Teams course were held in September, which helped participants fine-tune their team leadership skills and provided tools to develop high-performing teams. The Gas Business Fundamentals course, also held in September, delivered a comprehensive view of the global gas value chain - from exploration through to marketing the products; while last month’s Fundamentals of Cost and Schedule Engineering course outlined the basic concepts of cost engineering and data management for effective project management. The Oil and Gas Processing Technology course enabled participants to improve their fundamental understanding of thermodynamics, hydrocarbon behaviour and upstream processes.
More than 150 Tamayoz training courses have been offered free of charge to ExxonMobil Qatar’s partners and joint ventures, with close to 2,500 individuals receiving training since the inception of the programme in 2012. Since January, 580 participants have benefited from 24 courses, surpassing the 400 industry professionals Tamayoz reached in 2015 through 35 courses.
