Principal of the J.T.W Management Institute, Guyanese Management Specialist, Joycelyn Williams, has been sharing with the Stabroek Business her perspectives on what she regards as the country’s “management requirements” in the oil and gas era and on the suitability of the existing training curriculum to meet those needs.
Citing a pape prepared by the International Organization (ILO) titled ‘Prospective Occupational Skills Needed In the Guyanese Oil and Gas Industry 2022-2026)’, Williams notes that the ILO’s observation that, “the main occupational profiles in demand in the oil and gas value chain” appear to be those of “engineering professionals, deck crews” and, “in decreasing order, finance professionals, mining and construction labourers; physical and engineering, sheet and structural metal workers; finance technicians, structural metal workers, moulders and welders, as well as mineral processing plant operators.” In addition to these, Williams outlined what she described as “online job openings” for “Physical and Engineering Science Technicians” as opposed to professionals.
