Tullow sets up Takoradi Polytechnic training centre in Ghana

5 November 2011: The Government of Ghana’s goal to see more locals trained with necessary skills related to the oil and gas sector has been given a boost with the Jubilee Technical Training Centre being established at the Takoradi Polytechnic.

The centre, being funded by Tullow Oil and Jubilee partners will cost $3.5 million and is due to be completed in eleven months. It is hoped the centre will create world class human resource in-line with both local and foreign demand in the oil and gas sector. Work has already begun for the construction to commence. The centre is a result of studies that established a lack of investment in technical training and also the equipment and facilities needed to support this type of vocational education.
