Edutech launches complete pilot plant training system for the oil and gas sector at GESS 2008
Edutech Middle East reported the launch of its complete pilot plant training system for process plant operators in the oil, gas and petrochemical industries at the Gulf Educational Supplies Show 2008.
This is in line with the company’s aim to provide interactive and hands-on technical training in accordance to the goals of the ‘Nationalisation Program’.
The three-day event, was opened yesterday (January 22, 2008) by H. E. Dr. Hanif Hassan Ali, UAE Minister for Education, at Madinat Jumeirah Convention Center, Dubai.
With the drive of the ‘Nationalisation Program’ further intensifying the demand for skilled operators, organizations are facing a huge challenge in developing skilled manpower that meets the industry standards.
Bridging the gap in the oil, gas and petrochemical industries in terms of developing a well-trained skilled workforce, Edutech’s range of pilot plant training systems covers mechanical, electrical, instrumentation and process operation.
This includes intensive courses in process control, extraction, distillation column, gas absorption, water treatment, chemical reactors, hydrocracking, LNG and GTL.
"It is very important for teachers and educators to attend such conferences where the best technologies are being launched and demonstrated," said H. E. Dr. Hanif Hassan Ali.
"It is a wonderful sight to see the exhibit hall full of new products, supplies and programs that have been developed to enhance the learning experience for students and teachers. Learning from the best practices being implemented across the world and integrating it into our education sector is of the essence to develop students who are prepared to take on the challenges of a dynamic, global environment."
"Due to the exceptional economic and industrial development in the region, we are witnessing a significant movement focused on developing local talent as part of the aggressive efforts of governments across the region to ensure the success of the ‘Nationalisation Program’," said ASF Karim, CEO, Edutech.
"We have identified the Gulf Educational Supplies Show as an important platform to launch our technology-enabled training solutions and demonstrate the expansive advantages of our complete pilot plant training systems. Our aim is to leverage the attendance of representatives from leading colleges, universities and training centres through our significant presence at this event."
In addition to its range of complete pilot plant training systems for the oil and gas sector, Edutech’s participation at GESS also marked the launch of its Telecommunication Instructional Modelling System (TIMS), a unique learning technology, which facilitates effective communications laboratory experiments.
