Baku Higher Oil School (BHOS) has completed the project on Training Young Engineers in Management and Business Skills, which was organized within a grant agreement concluded between BHOS and the company bp.

 

Speaking at an event organized on this occasion, Rector of Baku Higher Oil School Elmar Gasimov noted that the main goal of the project is to help engineers improve their technical knowledge, skills and decision-making methods so that they meet the present-day requirements of employers.

 

Speaking about the positive impact of the modules taught within the project on the daily and career life of the participants, the rector noted that engineering students who want to become professionals, along with academic and technical knowledge, are acquiring social skills, which is a requirement of modern times.

 

“In the global labor market, preference is given to specialists who possess both technical and social skills. Today, management and business skills are a basic requirement for working as an engineer at multinational companies. Therefore, engineering students who want to become highly qualified socialists must acquire not only academic and technical knowledge, but also management and business skills. In this regard, the project on Training Young Engineers in Management and Business Skills is of particular importance,” the rector said.

 

Media and communications manager at bp-AGT Tamam Bayatli noted that the project is one of BP's educational programs and that its implementation will continue in the future. She said that the project covers modules such as leadership skills, project management, financial management, and human resources, which play an important role in strengthening the basic knowledge of staff.
