To address the growing need for skilled welders in Guyana’s oil and gas sector, the government is ramping up training efforts through a new programme by the School of the Nations in collaboration with the Guyana Online Academy of Learning (GOAL), targeting 3,000 Guyanese, President Irfaan Ali said on Saturday.
Already, some 650 people are registered for the one-month programme which exposes participants to rigorous theoretical and practical instruction in the welding field. At the end of the training, graduates will be given a City and Guilds Certificate, widely accepted worldwide.
Guyana’s President Dr. Irfaan Ali said that the Government is committed to training at least 3,000 Guyanese across the country in this programme alone.
Guyana’s President commended the registrants for taking a bold step towards upskilling and positioning themselves at the helm of Guyana’s economic transformation. He assured them that they would have the backing of the government throughout their journey.
