While technical expertise remains fundamental, tomorrow’s drilling professionals will also need to communicate effectively, collaborate across multidisciplinary teams, adapt to new technologies and develop the leadership capabilities that will shape the future of the industry.
This year’s World Youth Skills Day, celebrated annually on 15 July, carries the theme ‘Skills for a Shared Future’, recognising that future workplaces will increasingly depend on a combination of technical, digital and human-centred skills. For leading drilling technology solutions provider Rosond, this reflects an approach that has long underpinned its investment in developing the next generation of industry professionals.
“Technical competence will always be at the heart of what we do,” comments Glen McGavigan, Chief Executive Officer at Rosond. “However, the modern drilling environment demands far more than the ability to operate equipment. Our people need to solve problems under pressure, communicate clearly, work effectively as part of diverse teams and continuously adapt as technology and industry requirements evolve.”
