As part of Government of Ghana's efforts to create employment opportunities for the youth, the Petroleum Commission announces its career skills development initiative: the Ghana Upstream Sector Internship Programme (GUSIP).

The Commission is creating an opportunity through collaboration with International Oil Companies (IOCs) and Service Companies in the upstream petroleum industry to train and develop skills of young Ghanaian professionals with the goal to equip them with the requisite practical experience and expertise needed for upstream oil and gas operations.

The GUSIP entrails a comprehensive practical skill development targeted at training young graduates by exposing them directly to the oil and gas working environment and transferring to them practical experience, vocational skills and professional integration pathways, in order to enhance their assimilation into the oil and gas industry. The duration of the GUSIP training programme would not exceed 24 months.
