Training

In 2008 there was an increase in training activities in Italy and the world against a very modest rise in expenditure. This proves the commitment of the organizations involved, Eni Corporate University most of all, to making the initiatives effective but also efficient.

Mention should be made in particular of the intensive activity carried out for new projects in the Oil Exploration/Well Areaand Health, Safety and Environment, as well as the launch of the Special Project 3 for AGIP KCO in the Production & Maintenance area, dedicated to 330 Kasak people subdivided into about 40 different technical and staff job positions.

Investing in these areas through Eni Corporate University means working to disseminate shared values, consolidate corporate identity and contribute to business integration processes.

For the recruitment and selection of international resources, it is worth mentioning the "International Recruiting & Training Project" in Libya, started in 2006, which aims to recruit and hire from the local market, over a 4-year period, 150 graduates for employment in the main technical functions.Two groups with a total of 39 people have completed the biennial training pathway provided in collaboration with Eni Corporate University, and are currently employed in Italy, Libya and other international contexts.

The "Special   Project  Agip KCO  -  Kazakistan" is moving in the same direction. The third phase of this project, which has been up and running since January 2008, involves training young Kasak diploma holders who, in the future, will cover technical roles within Kashagan project operations
