NOVATEK continuously develops its training system and updates training programs to help employees deepen their knowledge in engineering, geology, mining, environmental protection, and other fields.
To evaluate training effectiveness, the Company collects and analyzes the feedback from participants on the courses taken and tests their knowledge through a remote learning system.
The Company continues working to offer its employees more remote learning opportunities for advanced training. Every employee can independently choose to undergo training in operational areas of interest remotely from their personal computer.
NOVATEK also supports employees who choose education at state universities, providing them with days off or educational leave.
For years, NOVATEK has been implementing its continuing education program for school and university students. This project enables the Company to recruit highly qualified and educated young talents from across its regions of operation.
As part of university engagement areas, the Company cooperates with the Gubkin Russian State University of Oil and Gas to run the Cryogenic Technology and Equipment for Gas Industry master’s degree program, which is delivered by both university faculty members and NOVATEK experts to share relevant knowledge and hands-on experience. Students have a chance to intern at Company enterprises, and successful graduates can join NOVATEK and take part in unique innovative LNG projects.
Hired graduates participate in Steps in Discovering Talents, a two-year program for onboarding young talent and helping them develop professionally through on-the-job adaptation and development. The initiative is aimed at onboarding new employees and enhancing their professional and personal competencies with the support of experienced mentors. The program includes a system for evaluating the specialists, providing them with feedback and an annual individual development plan, which are monitored monthly in order to track progress toward the goals set.
To further involve young talent in NOVATEK’s activities, the Company established the ProMotion Young Specialist Council in 2019 with the goal of keeping employees intellectually stimulated and up to date on innovation trends. The Council also helps to promote a healthy lifestyle, hold cultural mass events, increase the Company’s brand recognition, and engage with the youth.
