Kumul Petroleum has launched its new national candidate database and career portal: WAN PNG.
WAN PNG aims to provide a clear pathway to employment for students, school leavers, graduates and those employed or unemployed by providing access to training, life skills, career advice and employment opportunities.
The platform will showcase the best PNG talent to local and foreign businesses through its inbuilt national candidate database in an effort to kickstart careers.
“WAN PNG is a project dedicated to expanding opportunities for Papua New Guineans, to increase the development and sustainable employment of local PNG talent, so that everyone has the opportunity to participate in development of our resources and the nation’s growing prosperity,” Kumul Petroleum managing director Wapu Sonk said.
“WAN PNG is in line with our intention to maximise national content in the forthcoming Papua LNG project with respect to the employment of qualified Papua New Guineans during construction and operations.”
The launch of PNG WAN was celebrated by the PNG Minister for Labour and Employment Kessy Sawang along with foreign mission, government departments, statutory bodies, educational institutions, private sector employer, NGO and landowner companies representatives.
“KPHL is more than happy to maximise national content and real involvement by Papua New Guineans in future petroleum and other developments,” Sonk said. “WAN PNG is just one of our initiatives in this area.
“Similar to our support of the Kumul Petroleum Academy, and construction of a training and fabrication facility, we have a responsibility to play a much bigger role in the industry.”
