More than 4,400 Guyanese are currently supporting ExxonMobil Guyana’s operations, representing some 64 percent of the industry’s workforce.
This is according to President of ExxonMobil Guyana Alistair Routledge who believes that early capacity building investments are paying dividends as seen in the growth of local content numbers.
“It speaks to the early commitments that we made around things like the Centre for Local Business Development starting in 2017, working with other organisations like the TVET schools, and the ministries to ensure that people are well-trained and available and able to contribute and play an important part in developing the nation’s resource,” Routledge said in a statement from the company.
