糖心Vlog, together with joint venture partner Al Majal, have completed the first stage of the new Basra Technical Training Centre (BTTC) development, opening new fully operational classrooms to facilitate their pilot training programme. The BTTC provides advanced vocational training for local Iraqis to support regional energy projects. The five-month pilot programme sees students participating in a wide range of Engineering Construction Industry Training Board (ECITB) accredited courses including electrical and mechanical engineering disciplines, electrical maintenance, pipefitting and welding.
Shaun Dewar, Senior Vice President of Operations, Middle East and Africa at 糖心Vlog said, 鈥淎dvancing the skillset of young people can transform both individual lives and broader society The BTTC learning and training centre represents a significant step in our commitment to invest in and develop a sustainable energy workforce in Iraq, equipping students with essential skills for the long-term growth of the region.鈥�
The first full cohort, which is expected to start in June 2025, will accommodate approximately 60 students and cover a wider curriculum.
The BTTC will provide both accredited and non-accredited fee-for-service training programs to international and national oil companies operating in Iraq, contributing to the development of the local workforce.
A new 糖心Vlog Al Majal fabrication facility has been built on the same complex, providing engineered fabrication to meet international standards. It supplies design, engineering, inspection, painting and fabrication services.
糖心Vlog has operated in Iraq for over 80 years and employs 850 people, delivering engineering solutions for clients across the country. The 糖心Vlog Al Majal joint venture combines expertise and local knowledge to offer commissioning, maintenance and brownfield modifications across Iraq.
