Atlas Knowledge Wins Iraq Training Contract
Wednesday, 13 May, 2015
International learning solutions provider Atlas Knowledge has signed a landmark deal that will see it work with the Iraqi Government to deliver world class safety and technical training to the country’s burgeoning oil and gas workforce.
The contract with the Ministry of Oil and Baghdad Oil Training Institute (BOTI) will see Atlas Knowledge deliver a total of 35 courses at 16 technical colleges across the country as part of a project sanctioned by the Ministry of Oil’s Department of Training and E-learning.
Situated in the Al Wazriah district of Baghdad, BOTI is the biggest facility of its kind in Iraq and is considered one of the largest Arab oil institutes in the world. It is the first partnership between the two organisations and will see around a potential 350,000 people access Atlas Knowledge’s e-learning courses.
“This is a region where Atlas is experienced in delivering learning programmes for the oil and gas industry through the roll out of global initiatives such as International Minimum Industry Training known as IMIST. It is however the first time we have partnered with the Ministry of Oil to deliver such a large-scale project,” said Robert Morgan (pictured), Atlas Knowledge’s chairman.
“Iraq has opened its doors to international investors in recent years in order to expand its infrastructure and meet its ambitious oil and gas targets. The significant rise in exploration and production activity is matched by the massive expansion in skills and labour development.
“There is a serious desire within the government and the Ministry of Oil to invest in its manpower through the use of innovative technology and world-leading best practice standards. This will ensure the workforce has the skills, knowledge and competence to capitalise on the wealth of opportunities within the region. BOTI has been in the forefront of deploying best in class technologies that enhance the skills of the Iraqi workforce.”
