Syra Olivia Rayner learned this first hand as she is the only lady in her unit, at least for now, working as an instrumentation technician for a local company in offshore projects.
Syra was among the 42 trainees who obtained their diplomas in the convocation ceremony at the Sabah International Convention Centre. These graduates were from the 2017 and 2018 intakes. “What I learned about the processes will definitely go a long way in my new role. It is important for us, as oil and gas workers, to master these processes.
As for Sarifuddin Usman, the 22-year-old lad from the Tawau east coast district said his graduation was a significant moment for his family. Sarifuddin said he jumped at the chance to study at KTC as he believed the centre was the perfect springboard to work in the lucrative oil and gas sector. “There were exciting, challenging and tough times but everyone, students and instructors alike, were committed to helping out each other so everyone will succeed.
