Economy Training to seal skills gap in oil export planA Tullow Oil exploration rig in Turkana. FILE PHOTO | NMGA dozen Kenyans receiving specialised training in oil pipeline welding are set to graduate in September this year as the government moves to bridge a skills deficit in the nascent petroleum and gas sector. The country faces a massive skills gap in energy and petroleum at a time when it is at the peak of its oil exploration. Even then, Kenya suffers a shortage of specialist pipeline welders, forcing the Kenya Pipeline Company (KPC) to source artisans from China and Nigeria. A2E has been conducting the training of the 12 from KPC who will be accredited in the UK.
