The NETTS journeyWhatis NETTS?The National Energy TechnicianTraining Scheme (NETTS) is acollaboration between Programmedand major oil and gas organisations– including Santos, Shell,Woodside, Vermilion, INPEX andBHP Petroleum – to build a skilledworkforce for the future.The NETTS program has evolved from traditionalapprenticeships in the following ways: Companies are working together, sharing theirknowledge and experience to ensure that apprenticeshave the best possible exposure. The first 18 months of the apprenticeship are based ina structured learning environment to give apprenticesthe skills, knowledge and experience required to transitioninto an on or offshore role. All NETTS apprentices, regardless of trade, completea common foundation year to start the course.Apprenticelocations78The below diagram is an overview of thejourney through a NETTS apprenticeship.91064 531.

SecondmentsNETTS has built relationships witha number of companies acrossthe metropolitan area that are ableto host the apprentices. Thesecompanies, often in the supply chainfor the larger oil and gas operators,help to broaden the apprentices’depth of skills and knowledgebefore they transition to site.NETTS apprentices are given exposure to plantand equipment that they may not get to work onwhen at the host companies’ facilities; this gives thema broader scope of experience to draw from when theyare a qualified tradesperson.The collaborative nature of the NETTS Program enablesapprentices to gain experience across multiple hostcompany facilities. This provided exposure to a multitudeprocess systems and variable end products. For example,all apprentices, regardless of their host, may have theopportunity to see the differences between cryogenics,domestic gas, onshore processing, offshore processingand FLNG.Through the NETTS collaboration with 3rd party secondmentcompanies, multiple on and offshore sites are offered togive the NETTS apprentices great industry experiencebefore settling at their host sites. The variety of site-basedexperiences that the NETTS apprentices are given is vitalin their journeys to becoming competent tradespeople,working successfully alongside an older and moreexperienced workforce whilst also setting them upfor a lifelong career in the energy sector.The collaboration and network that is built across facilitiesand sites also allows shared knowledge across industry,creating best practice and a safer workforce.Focus ondiversityNETTS is specifically designed as an entrypathway into the oil and gas sector whichrequires no previous experience. This createsa level playing field for applicants from allbackgrounds and ensures we are growinga diverse workforce for the future.The main prerequisites for theprogram are: A willingness and aptitude to learn.

What our partnerssay about us?Ian RitchieCompetency Assurance LeadSantos“We currently have seven NETTS production apprenticesat Devil Creek and Varanus Island Gas Plants. As well asexperiencing working life on a gas plant, they also havethe opportunity to experience working in remote locationsincluding CS1 (compressor station 1) on DBPL (DampierBunbury Pipe Line) and Offshore Gas Production Platforms,Reindeer and John Brookes.Historyof NETTSWhen first on site, the initial reaction to these youngapprentices was surprise at how skilled and knowledgeablethey were, being so young, and they quickly integrated intothe operations team.The feeling from site is one of pride in being involved in thedevelopment of these bright young apprentices, and theirprogression into full time positions within our industry.It is also pleasing to see the ongoing collaborationbetween Programmed and all the member companies,including Santos, Shell, Woodside, Inpex and Vermillion,to support the apprentice program and striving forcontinuous improvement.We are looking forward to the next group of apprenticesstarting on our Santos facilities, working with a teamwho value the pipeline of talent coming through theNETTS program.”Lawrence RyperPrelude FLNG Onshore Production Team LeadShell Australia“Currently our third and fourth year apprentices are in theprocess of mobilising to Prelude FLNG where they willbe working until the completion of their apprenticeship.Our second year mechanical fitters are about to graduatefrom TAFE and begin their placements with QGC and ourinstrument electricians with ENI and Santos, with our firstyears working hard at TAFE and taking part in activities likethe Jimmy McQuade Safety Day.Up until now, we have been privileged to have our peersin industry (including Woodside and Santos) host ourapprentices. It’s now exciting to be welcoming our fourthyears onto Shell Australia’s first operated asset on the WestCoast, and to be part of the world first Floating LNG facility.As the oil and gas sector went througha rapid growth period in 2013/14,industry leaders began to discuss waysto better recruit and train apprentices.The desire was for a standardisededucation and training program toincrease the supply of safe, skilledworkers. Out of these discussions,the concept of a collaborative trainingprogram was workshopped, and theNational Energy Technician TrainingScheme (NETTS) was born.Potential candidates are targetedat school-leaver stage with a prerecruitment strategy involvingrepresentatives visiting schoolsand Indigenous academies to raiseawareness of the program andits employment opportunities.The NETTS model was designed to useinnovative educational approaches,increase community engagement andlower training costs. To set an industry standard fortraining of new entrants into the oiland gas industry across Australia.Having recently recruited for ourfifth and largest intake so far,the NETTS program continues togrow and meet the needs of agrowing oil and gas industry.The foundation of this programwas built on three core goals: To increase diversity in theenergy sector. To provide a steady pipeline ofcompetent, safe and skilledoperators and tradespeople intothe energy sector.The NETTS Apprenticeshipprogram allows us to collaboratewith industry partners and activelycontribute to the talent pipelineinto the oil and gas industry.The NETTS Apprenticeship program allows us to collaboratewith industry partners and actively contribute to the talentpipeline into the oil and gas m.au/netts11
