Oil and gas operators in the Kurdistan Region of Iraq (KRI) required structured, professional training for their workforce, but lacked the certified in-house trainers, logistical infrastructure, and administrative capacity to design and deliver programmes at scale. Without a credible delivery partner, workforce development stalled and HSE capability gaps widened, a critical risk in the oil and gas sector.
WRS designed and delivered end-to-end accredited training programmes across multiple client organisations in the KRI. As an MNR-registered Approved Vendor, WRS provided a fully compliant and locally trusted delivery model. This included sourcing and vetting qualified external trainers, tailoring programme content to each client’s workforce needs, managing all scheduling and logistics, and ensuring every participant received a certificate on completion, removing the administrative burden from client HR teams entirely.
- Training tailored to each client’s specific workforce requirements, covering disciplines from HSE and leadership to Excel skills and finance.
- Qualified, vetted trainers sourced across disciplines including strategic sourcing, health and safety, supervisory skills, and risk management.
- All participants received accredited certificates on completion, supporting compliance and workforce development requirements.
- Management of scheduling, logistics and communications
- Open courses delivered across HR, payroll management, project management, negotiation, and business ethics.
- All programmes delivered under WRS’s status as an MNR Approved Vendor, ensuring regulatory alignment for IOC clients.
WRS successfully delivered accredited training for oil and gas organisations in the Kurdistan Region. The end-to-end model freed client HR teams from logistical responsibilities, directly addressed HSE capability gaps, and proved fully repeatable across diverse organisations. The engagement demonstrated WRS’s capability as a structured workforce development partner, not just a recruitment provider.
