The Petroleum Commission has commended Baker Hughes, a GE company, on its decision to train five Ghanaians to become internationally accredited and certified welders.
The training, which is estimated at a cost of USD$250,000, is part of efforts to support the Accelerated Oil and Gas Capacity program. The program is aimed at building the capacity of the Ghanaian youth, by equipping them with the relevant skills set required for the upstream petroleum industry.
The eight-month to one year course in stainless steel welding, will take place at the Northern Alberta Institute of Technology, and will equip the beneficiaries on their return, with the capacity to train many more Ghanaians to support the industry.
