Part of Papua LNG’s National Content plan focuses on developing the skills and competencies of all Papua New Guineans, to enhance their employability for future projects as well as contribute to the wider PNG talent pool.
In line with one of three key pillars: Promoting the Employment and Training of Papua New Guinean citizens, the Project is committed to becoming a significant contributor to the country’s workforce development.
Building on its existing partnership with Unitech, earlier this August, Senior Executives from TotalEnergies including Project Management, paid a visit to the campus in Lae and were given a tour of the School of Engineering, even meeting with the different Department Heads.
In the spirit of nurturing this relationship, TEP PNG made a donation of six laptops, Cisco wireless controllers, routers, firewalls and two VoIP phones to the institution.
Managing Director of TEP PNG Jean-Marc Noiray, referred to the occasion today, as a milestone for both Unitech, as a beacon of higher education and for the Papua LNG project.
