Workers are watching offshore wind farms.

As another year comes to an end and a new year begins, our OPITO mission remains clear and remarkable: to provide global security training and certification for the current and future global offshore energy industry.

Ensure people's safety and skills. For us, this means three key considerations: safety, skills, and sustainability.

Our lives and breathing are both safety and skills. This year, our global network with over 230 centers in 52 countries/regions has trained nearly 500000 people according to our standards.

We are playing an increasingly important role in energy transformation: renewable energy is expected to create 42 million jobs by 2050.

From wood to coal, to oil and nuclear energy, all of our industrial revolutions and energy transformations are driven by people - their creativity, imagination, and expertise will reshape our energy system.

Our responsibility is to prepare a safe and skilled workforce for this new situation.

security

Since the first industrial revolution, safety has always been the top priority of the energy industry.

We will never forget the Piper Alpha explosion in 1988. From the training environment to the workplace, we will always ensure that safety is at the core of our training.

skill

We have a significant amount of hard-earned capabilities in our offshore oil and gas supply chain.

From floating offshore wind and hydrogen energy to CCUS and solar energy, it will serve the clean energy field well. Many people in the current workforce already possess the skills and knowledge required for transformation.

But these skills must be recognized and transferred.

Tomorrow's labor force will need to easily flow between different sectors of the energy industry. We must keep up with the times.

Through the combination of virtual learning platforms, online seminars guided by on-site instructors, electronic learning products, and video tutorials, we have jointly proven that the combination of digital learning and blended learning is effective.

sustainable development

Fifty years ago, the offshore energy industry was the first to adopt the technology of extracting hydrocarbons from the world's worst environments. It has created a world-class offshore workforce.

Many workers have transferred their skills from other industries such as mining and shipbuilding, construction, and automotive engineering.

This tradition provides us with a huge competitive advantage today, providing us with the world leading professional and technical knowledge needed to adapt to the future of integrated energy.

The scale of today's challenges is enormous, but the returns are equally enormous.

People around the world expect energy labor to make life safe and sustainable.

Achieving this goal means preserving these hydrocarbon skills while cultivating the skills and diversity of the next generation.

In order to create a talent pipeline, we must make the energy profession an attractive proposition for our smartest and most outstanding young people.

Now is the time to motivate and inspire our current and future workforce.

We are working hard today to ensure that the global energy workforce is prepared for tomorrow.

We are jointly utilizing the skills and safety of our employees to shape the future of the energy industry.
