Energy service company opens training ‘academy’

Balmoral Offshore Engineering (BOE) opened its own training “academy” yesterday, saying it was an essential asset because of an endemic skills shortage in the oil and gas industry.

The Aberdeen-based energy service company has already signed up six people, including existing employees and new recruits, for a six-month training programme.

It expects to put around 100 trainees through the centre annually, creating a regular supply of “production process leaders”.
