Case Study: Customizable Oil and Gas Training for Large Corporations
Client Overview
A global engineering firm with over 500 employees provides services to multiple industries, including oil and gas. While the company had an established in-house learning program for employee training, they needed to provide a specific, non-technical understanding of the oil and gas industry to project managers, engineers, and other key personnel involved in oil and gas-related projects. Building custom training materials internally would be both time-consuming and costly, especially given the rapid changes and demands of the industry.
Challenge
The company required a flexible, cost-effective solution that could:
- Provide targeted training in oil and gas industry fundamentals without the need to develop course content in-house.
- Be adaptable to the specific needs of different teams—ensuring that only relevant modules were included in their training program.
- Integrate with their existing learning management system (LMS) to provide a seamless experience for employees and managers.
With a wide range of departments needing varying levels of understanding, from basic industry overviews to deeper knowledge on midstream operations, they needed modular training that could be customized for each group.
Solution: EKT Interactive’s Oil 101 Modular Course
Rather than invest resources into building their own oil and gas training program, the company licensed EKT Interactive’s Oil 101 course. The modular format of the course allowed the company’s learning and development team to select only the most relevant lessons for their employees.
Key Features for Large Enterprises:
- Modular course design: The company could pick and choose the lessons most relevant to different departments. For example, their project management team focused on upstream fundamentals, while their engineering teams needed more in-depth content on midstream operations.
- Cost savings: Licensing the course materials saved the company significant time and money, allowing them to avoid the costly process of creating their own content.
- Seamless integration with internal systems: EKT Interactive’s content was easily integrated into the company’s LMS, allowing managers to track employee progress and ensure completion of key lessons.
- Up-to-date industry insights: EKT Interactive’s materials were regularly updated, ensuring that employees always had access to the most current information in a rapidly evolving industry.
Results
After integrating EKT Interactive’s Oil 101 course into their existing learning program, the company saw immediate benefits:
- Training customization: Managers were able to tailor the learning paths for various teams, ensuring that employees only spent time on the most relevant modules.
- Increased efficiency: By leveraging ready-made course content, the learning and development team was able to focus on other strategic initiatives rather than course development.
- Improved employee knowledge: The modular approach meant that employees received targeted training on the areas of the industry that directly impacted their work, leading to quicker comprehension and application in projects.
- Cost-effectiveness: Licensing pre-developed materials from EKT Interactive was significantly cheaper than creating custom content, offering an effective solution for large-scale training.
Conclusion
For large enterprises like this engineering firm, licensing EKT Interactive’s Oil 101 course provides a flexible and cost-effective way to enhance employee understanding of the oil and gas industry. By utilizing the modular course design, the company can deliver customized, relevant training without the hassle of building content from scratch. This approach ensures that their teams are well-equipped with industry knowledge while saving both time and resources.
