Chevron is supporting 1,400 community youths to access high-quality training programs
In 2016, Chevron launched Uttoron, a three-year project with Swisscontact to facilitate the delivery of training and link trainees with reputable employers in the region. Phase-1 of the project closed in July 2019, with nearly 1,450 youths trained (21 percent female) and awareness on skills training delivered to 53,000 community members. Uttoron-II was launched in December 2019, aiming to enhance the skills and employability of 2,000 community youths (80 percent from Chevron's gas field areas) over the next three years. Furthermore, the project aims to establish a skills training center near the Bibiyana Gas Field, and upgrade a national training institute to offer advanced training courses on welding.
