ExxonMobil Qatar’s Tamayoz programme has wrapped up another successful year after offering 36 training courses for local professionals from valued partner Qatar Petroleum, joint ventures RasGas and Qatargas, and Nakilat during 2017.
The programme supports the company’s efforts to harness human potential and channel it in the right direction, in line with the objectives of Qatar’s National Vision 2030 (QNV).
Tamayoz’s courses share ExxonMobil’s technical, commercial and operational expertise with local partners through a structured training programme designed to increase participation of Qatari nationals in the workforce and enhance their capabilities.
Tamayoz capitalises on the time, talent and knowledge of ExxonMobil experts to increase the knowledge and enhance the skills of the professionals who are the future of Qatar’s energy sector.
“We believe that creating opportunities for professionals within the workforce to reach newfound potential is integral to building a knowledge-based economy,” said Alistair Routledge, president and general manager, ExxonMobil Qatar. “Since its inception in 2012, Tamayoz has established itself as the leading training programme in Qatar’s energy industry.”
“Together with our partners, we are empowering the next generation of industry leaders by maximising knowledge-transfer and leveraging ExxonMobil subject-matter experts from around the world,” Routledge added. “We believe that with this knowledge and necessary skills, they can contribute to building a brighter future for Qatar.”
Tamayoz steadily offered more courses each year to progressively more participants. More than 130 courses have been offered to over 3,400 local professionals free of charge since 2012.
As the first comprehensive programme of its kind in Qatar, Tamayoz delivers professional development opportunities through six targeted critical competency areas: leadership and personal effectiveness; project management; commercial; operations excellence; technical (surface and subsurface) and safety, health and the environment.
Courses held during 2017 covered each of the six critical areas with several key highlights, including two back-to-back, three-day technical and commercial leadership fundamentals courses in March 2017 for more than 50 participants.
Under the commercial competency area, Tamayoz hosted a gas business fundamentals course in April for 25 participants.
Natural gas commercialisation requires a strong foundational understanding of the gas value chain, from exploration through to marketing the products, and discernment of the key commercial issues.
The course conveys a comprehensive view of the global gas value chain, including multiple marketing dispositions while improving business knowledge skills.
In October 2017, Tamayoz held two sessions of the production best practices course from the operations competency area for 50 participants who learned the fundamentals of production best practices, how they are applied to their business, how they work together, and how to use best practices, tools and collaboration forums.
“The Tamayoz programme brings the energy of some of ExxonMobil’s most skilled and experienced team members and unleashes it here in Qatar,” said Routledge. “We believe that this information-sharing with local participants to instill best practices and disseminate knowledge will have a positive and long term impact on Qatar’s sustainable
future.”
“Tamayoz is an example of ExxonMobil’s commitment to building, supporting, developing and empowering its joint venture partners in Qatar,” Routledge added.
More than 3,400 participants receive training free of charge since 2012.
