Special Events and Courses

Education Week
The International Petroleum Technology Conference (IPTC) is hosting an Education Week in Kuala Lumpur in December 2008, for the benefit of the best, final-year undergraduate students in science, geoscience and engineering from qualified institutions. The purpose of the IPTC Education Week is to give the students a clear insight into the petroleum industry, to work together on a group project and to provide opportunities for students to form new friendships and extend their network. At the same time, the students will be interacting with a number of major industry employers who are constantly looking to recruit the best talent from institutions across the region.
Education Days

The IPTC Education Days is to be organised for the benefit of local high school students, as an initiative to introduce them to the discipline of petroleum engineering, and the industry in general. 100 high school students will be invited to attend, and industry professionals will be invited to share their experience with the students and to deliver talks on topics of general interest and relevance to the industry. High schools selected to participate at the Education Days will be required to work on an assigned school project prior to IPTC. The projects will be displayed throughout the conference at the IPTC Education Days Project Display Area.
Young Professionals Workshop

As many Young Professionals are being placed with a higher level of responsibility in the industry, a greater emphasis is being put on young employees to step into challenging technical and managerial roles. Equally important, the Young Professionals have the responsibility to be proactively involved with the leadership development process to be creative and innovative in order to meet the challenge. To help address this issue, the International Petroleum Technology Conference (IPTC) has developed a Young Professional Workshop, which will bring together the next generation of leaders, those 35 years of age and under, to discuss their perspectives of a way forward to energise the industry.
