The British Embassy in Egypt launched the Oil and Gas International Scholarship Programme on Monday for up to 2,000 Egyptian employees over the coming five years to meet the changing needs of businesses in the oil and gas sector, according to an embassy statement.
The programme, which is the largest scholarship program in its sector in Egypt, aims to "support the work of the Egyptian government as it modernises the oil and gas sector," the embassy said in an emailed statement late on Monday.
The program was designed by the International Academy for Advanced Research and Studies (IARS) and its training partner Pearson, the largest awarding body in UK, in cooperation with Oil and Gas Skills Egypt (OGS). It will provide accessible and affordable high-quality international training programs, the embassy statement said.
