The investment &#8211; and the interest from students &#8211; highlights the acute demand for skills in BC\u2019s potential LNG sector.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>And, as one might expect, BC\u2019s educational institutions are here in force. After speaking with the reps from different schools, it\u2019s striking how differently they\u2019re approaching the LNG sector\u2019s education challenge.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"u16196-9\"><strong>The pitch to students<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Schools such as the University of Northern BC (UNBC) are emphasizing their ability to offer targeted training to the LNG workforce. By highlighting its continuing studies programs, UNBC is speaking mostly to the students themselves, enticing them with specialty training in such areas as health and safety, environmental monitoring and project management.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"u16196-15\"><strong>The pitch to employers<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>The BC Institute of Technology (BCIT), on the other hand, has a sales pitch aimed more squarely at employers, offering tailored training services for companies looking to build up their workforce. Through its Corporate &amp; Industry Training Services division, BCIT is asking companies what kinds of training they want to focus on and how they want it delivered.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>At the BCIT booth, attendants emphasize that they aren\u2019t only interested in training welders and pipe fitter, but also the accountants, supply-chain managers and human resource pros the sector will need.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"u16196-24\"><strong>The pitch for collaborative research<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Over at the UBC tent, the message is all about research. UBC has diverse teams pursuing world-leading research into a range of geoscience topics, including sub-surface imaging, hydraulics, pipeline engineering and big-data analytics.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The UBC team is attending the conference so they can interact with industry and discover where there\u2019s a real, practical need for research. The goal is not to make the university a laboratory for industry, but rather to make sure that the research pursued at UBC is as relevant to the real world as possible.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p
