KIKAM TECHNICAL INSTITUTE
K I M T E C H
A PRESENTATION ON THE ROLE OF STAKEHOLDER
INSTITUTIONS IN DEVELOPING CRITICAL SKILLSETS IN THE
UPSTREAM PETROLEUM SECTOR
PRESENTED ON BEHALF OF MRS. EMMA MARTHA OTOO THE
PRINCIPAL OF KIKAM TECHNICAL INSTITUTE
BY MR. CHARLES LWANGA SAALIDONG, VICE PRINCIPAL INCHARGE OF
ADMINISTRATION
2TH NOVEMBER, 2019.
INTRODUCTION
• In July 2007 oil was discovered in commercial quantity in the
Western Region of Ghana. The location was named “Jubilee
field”.
• Stakeholder engagement became necessary in availing
conditions appropriate to propel the sector to its height while
sustain it.
• As a stakeholder, Educational Institutions have a duty to
develop basic critical skillsets needed in the Upstream
Petroleum Sector and industry in general.
• Technical and Vocational Education Training (TVET) schools of
the Ghana Education Service gives competency-based hands-
on-training ie lower level expertise required to perform various
tasks in the Oil and Gas Sector.
CRITICAL SKILLS TRAINING PLATFORM
Between 2016 - 2017 Kimtech, TTI and RMU witnessed the commissioning of state-of-the-art Oil and Gas Capacity Building workshops/laboratories.
It was funded by the World Bank dabbed the Oil and Gas Capacity Building Project under the auspices of the Ministry of Energy and Petroleum.
The facility is to give hands on-training to Ghanaians and other nationals for the Oil and Gas Sector.
the refurbishment and equipping of the workshops, Instructors in the beneficiary Departments have been given “Equipment Specific” training to build their capacities to effectively utilize the machines and equipment thus properly positioning our Institutions to deliver on our mandate.
TRAINING PROGRAMMES BY THE INSTITUTES
Our staff are well positioned to train workers who can think critically and creatively in the context of their work, solve work-based problems and make sound decisions at work.
Our workshops provide skills training for regular TVET students leading to the award of National Board for Professional Technician Examination (NABPTEX) and Technical Examination Unit (TEU) Intermediate certificate II.
These Graduates end up at the tertiary institutions as springboard to Upstream Petroleum Sector.
Some end up in industry associated with the Oil and Gas, and Mining Sectors.

TRAINING PROGRAMMES RUN BY THE INSTITUTES
Since employers seek workers with cross-cutting knowledge areas and skills, students from other Departments are given the opportunity of add onto their skills from these workshops.
We also ran skills training programs for artisan, master craftsmen to build their capacity leading to the award of certificate of proficiency, some of whom end up in or ran services for the Oil and Gas industry.
Under an MOU Kimtech and TTI will train while RMU award certificates of international standing acceptable in the Oil and Gas Sector.

GIRLS SKILLSETS TRAINING
Local Content requires increased female
participation in Oil and Gas Sector.
Technical/vocational training should not
be a preserve for men since some women
have equally carved a niche in the trade.
Amidst challenges, Kimtech has in recent
times witnessed growing female
enrolment who acquire skillsets for industry
CHALLENGES OF FEMALE ENROLMENT
Lack of a Girls’ Dormitory has rendered female
students non resident with all the dangers
associated with renting outside the school
premises.
An introduction of Hospitality and Catering
Laboratory/Department will boost female
enrolment and create employment
opportunities in ancillary services of the Oil and
Gas Sector.
THE WAY FORWARD
Need for demand-driven training
Create and ease access to Industrial
attachment
Sponsorship of training programs
Increase practical fees
Dealing with issues of fronting – educational
review and reform

THANK YOU
