With the aim of better satisfy Customer needs, GE Energy hascreated Training Centers worldwide based on the model of theFlorence Learning Center.
The first was the Sonatrach Training Center in Hassi R’Mel,Algeria (opened in June 2000) followed by the Petrobras TrainingCenter in Macaè, Brazil (opened in July 2002).
In September 2004 the first GE Energy Regional Training Centerwas inaugurated in Port Harcourt Nigeria.
In this Training Center, GE Energy will provide technicalinformation, training and assistance for Customers in Nigeria andthe surrounding regions. It is the first GE facility of its kind in Sub-Saharan Africa. Construction has been completed on a new, four-story building located in the industrial zone of Port Harcourt City,Rivers State, Nigeria. The center includes two fully equipped classrooms for mechanicaltraining sessions, a gas turbine control panel simulator, BentlyNevada vibration training equipment and other instructionalmaterials such machined cut-outs of component parts anddisplays designed to instruct visitors on the operational featuresof GE equipment for oil and gas applications.The Center offers customized training as well as standard trainingpackages for GE Energy equipment for operation andmaintenance personnel, and leadership and managementcourses.
Through the new centers, we are developing learningenvironments that provide information on technologies ofinterest to our Customers.One of the key objectives is to increase GE’s impact and thevalue that it adds by creating local resources to deliver technicalinformation and assistance to our customers.
Development of other Training Centers located in strategicregions for GE Energy’s Oil and Gas Business is underway.
