Clyde Training Solutions (CTS) have partnered with ITB Competence Assurance Limited (ITB) to develop training packages specifically aimed at Armed Forces personnel wishing to transition to the Energy Sector.

This joint venture brings together training providers focused on providing the highest level of training for personnel entering sectors for the first time, and which recognises the challenges faced by Armed Forces personnel undertaking with this process.

David Christie, Training Director and Founder of ITB, a Careers Transition Partnership accredited training provider, commented of the creation of these bespoke Offshore Oil & Gas (OOGE) and Renewables (RWE) focused packages, and what each party would bring to the table:

"The ITB TAP™ Transition Accelerator Programme has been designed with Armed Forces Personnel in mind, as we recognise the problems Armed Forces personnel face when entering civilian work life, and are designed to prepare individuals with the business and non-technical insight required for each of these industries.

"Both OOGE and RWE Programmes have Subject Matter Experts who will provide a true and honest overview, appreciation and understanding of ‘what actually is required in the Sector’ created through a mix of theory, group discussions, interactive and practical learning methods.”

Adam Wright, Global Business Development Manager for CTS, echoed those thoughts: "We pride ourselves at CTS, on providing delegates with not only the necessary training and knowledge to entre these sectors for the first time, but the support where practical to do so.

"In ITB we saw a partner who understood that beyond just initial training, these Armed Forces personnel often need guidance to understand the personal behavioural attributes to be a successful member of what is a new sector, and we believe together our training can provide the technical and personal attributes needed.”
