Training and Developing New Recruits
Kames Petroleum Services intentionally recruits professionally inexperienced nationals
with strong educational backgrounds and helps to develop them for specific
positions through its Associate Development Program. Each new recruit
receives an Individual Development Plan (IDP) created specifically for them.
An IDP defines:
• The target job for which the national is being trained
• The tasks that the national must learn to perform
• Training courses required to develop the necessary knowledge and skills
• Milestones that indicate attainment of various levels of professional development
• Increases in salary tied to these milestones
Each new recruit also receives the support of career counselors and
an individual coach who provides on-the-job training and assistance,
and monitors and assesses progress. A national is appointed to his
or her target job upon successful completion of the IDP.
Continuing Development
for Experienced Employees
Finally, Kames Petroleum Services has many programs
in place to help its more experienced national
employees continue on their development path.
The company offers scholarships and study
leave programs to enable employees to continue
their education and cross-post opportunities
with its shareholders (Total and Oxy) to provide
the chance for nationals to gain valuable work
experience with these international companies.
