PTDF Launches Committee to Operationalise Port Harcourt Skills Centre

The Petroleum Training Development Fund (PTDF) has inaugurated a dedicated committee tasked with creating an operational framework and curriculum for its newly announced Centre for Skills Development in Port Harcourt. The committee will outline the centre’s governance structure, staffing requirements, and training modules, ensuring that the facility is ready to deliver industry‑relevant skills to local workers. By establishing clear operational guidelines and a robust curriculum, PTDF aims to transform the centre into a functional hub for vocational education and workforce development. The initiative follows the fund’s broader mandate to enhance technical training across Nigeria’s oil and gas sector, and the committee’s work will set the foundation for the centre’s launch and ongoing operations. The project is expected to provide structured learning pathways for residents of Port Harcourt and surrounding communities, aligning training with market needs.
