The Companies SBM, EQUINOR And IBP Launched A Qualification Course Program For The Offshore Sector, With Selections Scheduled To Begin In January 2025. The Objective Is To Train Professionals To Meet The Growing Demand For Production Operators On Platforms And FPSOs.
If you are looking for a qualification opportunity in the offshore sector, this news is for you! The qualification course program launched by the companies SBM, EQUINOR And IBP aims to train professionals who wish to enter or improve their skills in the offshore production market. The program, named Future Offshore Program, was officially launched during the ROG.e fair in Rio de Janeiro and promises to open doors for those seeking to specialize in the field.
The program aims to meet the growing demand of the Brazilian market for qualified professionals, especially production operators, who are essential for the functioning of platforms and FPSOs (Floating Production Storage and Offloading). The training will consist of a combination of theory and practice, preparing participants for the daily challenges of the offshore sector.
Training For The Offshore Market
According to Victor Alves, Training and Development Specialist at Equinor University in Brazil, the initiative arose to fill a gap in the job market. “With the increase in the number of FPSOs, we realized that the demand for production operators has also grown. Without a qualified workforce, we would have to look for these professionals in the external market, which would directly impact our projects,” Alves stated.
