Training Policy

Kuwait Petroleum Corporation believes that its real wealth is the human resources which contribute to the development of the oil industry and the best exploitation of the “black gold.” With this in mind, KPC has drawn up a comprehensive training strategy, which aims at training, developing and upgrading the competences of national executives. A Supreme Council for Training and Education was established to supervise the implementation of training and career structures designed for all the oil sector employees. This Council is headed by the Managing Director for Training & Career Development Sheikha Shatha Nasser Al-Sabah.

The Corporation's mission is to support and promote the role of the national labour force at all levels, and to encourage personal initiatives for education and development in the oil sector. The Council formulates training policies and plans, and reviews them annually. It also devises the general strategy for training for the oil sector.


The major achievement of the Corporation in terms of developing staff capabilities in the sector is the expansion of the Petroleum Training Centre at Ahmadi Governorate. With the expansion of the Centre, which serves all the subsidiary oil companies, new horizons have been opened for the Centre and its duty of catering for present and future needs of the oil sector in line with the corporation’s development plans.
