The Seminar
Initiating a solution to the problems that the Energy Industry is facing due to acute shortage of skilled professionals, the Seminar was conducted, bringing out the major factors that are contributing to the same, and bringing out a solution through integrating some of the best brains in the industry.
All major operators and service companies seem to have ignored the basic need to train and retain a highly skilled workforce all along. This under-investing, coupled with the retirement of senior personnel over the last two decades, has led to a serious dearth of qualified personnel in the industry.
The seminar addressed the shortage of talent in oil and gas industry and shed light on how Indian graduates can better their career opportunities.
The program was inaugurated by Lt. Col. Jitendra Prasad, General Manager – Regional Geosciences Laboratories, ONGC, and the function was presided over by Prof. Bhaskar Ramamurthi, Director, IITM, Mr Dave Taylor, London School of Energy Studies, Prof J S Mani, The Head, Department of Ocean Engineering, IIT Madras, and Prof S P Subramaniam, Ocean Engineering, IIT Madras.
