Exxon invests $40 million in training centre for young oil and gas professionals
The oil company ExxonMobil will finance the construction of a technology centre in the Mozambican capital, Maputo, to train oil and gas engineers, the Mozambican president announced yesterday.
“We believe this memorandum is very important. ExxonMobil will support the construction of a technology centre in Maputo with $40 million for the training of young Mozambicans,” President Daniel Chapo told journalists after visiting the headquarters of the American oil company in Houston, Texas.
According to President Chapo, who is on a working visit to the USA, the technology centre will be built next year near the Zimpeto National Stadium, on the outskirts of Maputo. The plan is to train at least 100 young people from all provinces of the country in oil and gas exploration.
The centre will include classrooms, onshore and offshore operation simulators, accommodation, a restaurant, a gym, and a health clinic, creating a comfortable environment for trainees.
