Abu Dhabi: Further building on its long-standing partnerships with Abu Dhabi National Oil Company (Adnoc), GE Oil & Gas has signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with the Petroleum Institute University & Research Center (PI) to provide specialised training programmes, summer internship opportunities and educational tools for PI students as part of its commitment to promote human capital development and promote knowledge sharing.
As part of the three-year agreement, GE will support at least one senior graduation project per academic year and two training sessions per semester on subjects related to turbo-machinery, rotating equipment vibration analysis and inspection technologies. GE will also host at least one field visit per academic semester and provide about three to four summer internship opportunities initially with the goal of expanding it to 10 internships in the next three years.
GE and PI will conduct joint seminars, short courses and workshops for PI students and/or external stakeholders with at least two seminars planned per semester. The first seminars will focus on GE’s newest turbo machinery technology and the Industrial Internet, GE’s path-breaking initiative that brings together people, analytics and technology to deliver incremental results.
