Posted on by Wan Asrie Wan Ayu

The PETRONAS-run Kimanis Petroleum Training Centre (KTC) continues to support the national Technical and Vocational Education and Training (TVET) agenda in developing technical capability among Sabah youth. 

Since its establishment in 2011, KTC has produced 211 graduates, a crucial step forward in transforming the future of Sabahan youth by equipping them with in-demand technical skills.

Firdaus Ismail, the best graduate from 2021 intake, delivered his appreciation speech, dedicating his success to his parents and instructors.

The number includes 17 trainees from the 2021 intake who graduated on 19 September at a convocation ceremony held at the Sabah International Convention Centre (SICC).

General Manager Learning Academy, PTTSB, En. Azhar Ahmad delivered his speech during the event.

General Manager Learning Academy, PETRONAS Technical Training Sdn Bhd, En. Azhar Ahmad said in his speech, “KTC serves as a testament to PETRONAS’ commitment to producing highly skilled technical workforce, aligned with the national TVET agenda as a ‘game changer’ in the government’s increased emphasis on TVET, as reflected in TVET’s prominence in the 11th and 12th Malaysia Plans.” 

In addressing concerns about the adequacy of the TVET-skilled manpower pool, he praised the employability of KTC graduates, noting that nearly 100 percent of previous graduates have secured employment in the oil and gas sector as well as in other industries.

Sabah Science, Technology and Innovation Minister, YB Datuk Dr. Haji Mohd Arifin, delivered his officiating speech during the event.

KTC is the first institution in Sabah to be recognised as an Accredited Centre by the Department of Skills Development under the Ministry of Human Resources. It offers a three-year full-time diploma-level training in Industrial Instrumentation & Control System – Monitoring & Control (Level 4), Malaysian Skills Diploma (DKM). Graduates from KTC are also identified as potential feeders for INSTEP’s Technical Energy Enrichment Programme (TEP).
