Sabah's Oil and Gas Sector Gets a Boost: Local Training Fuels Economic Growth Sabah, a Malaysian state, is experiencing a significant transformation in its oil and gas sector. A post-COVID-19 development plan is driving this change, focusing on training local residents and increasing revenue. This initiative is creating new employment opportunities and boosting the state's economy. The TAS Institute of Oil and Gas is at the forefront of this effort.

"Our main focus is to help develop local human capital in the oil and gas industry," says Datuk Willie Ng, Executive Director of the TAS Institute. The training covers various aspects of oil and gas operations, ensuring that Sabahans are well-prepared for the demands of the industry. This initiative is not only creating jobs but also contributing to Sabah's economic prosperity. The state's substantial oil and gas reserves are being leveraged to improve the lives of its citizens. The commitment to local workforce development is a testament to Sabah's forward-thinking approach to economic growth and sustainability.
