SPE Launches Training Marketplace
New Online Resource for Locating and Listing E&P Training Offerings
HOUSTON, Texas, U.S.A. (27 September 2004) – The Society of Petroleum Engineers (SPE) announces the launch of Training Marketplace, a new online service for locating and listing E&P industry training courses. This service provides a single source for finding both technical courses and professional development training aimed at oil and gas professionals.
Career professionals have complimentary access to the database of industry relevant course listings, readily accessible by easy search techniques. In addition to the course listings, SPE's Training Marketplace provides links to the training providers' Web sites for more detailed information and course registration.
"Because SPE.org is one of the oil and gas industry's most visited and
recognized sites, we are pleased to have our Online Continuing Education
Courses for Professional Engineers listed on the Web site," said Gordan
Feric, R&D Engineer at Engineering Software. "Training Marketplace
makes it very convenient to reach out on a worldwide basis to the oil and gas
community and provides another option in meeting career development
requirements."
Training providers may list up to 200 instructor-led or web-based courses. Each
listing includes course name, course description, Web links, cost, instructor
and suggested attendees. Courses may vary from online to onsite to designated
locations. For training providers, cost to participate depends on the number of
courses listed.
Training Marketplace is available to both SPE members and nonmembers and, as such, serves a broad market of targeted and qualified industry professionals.
Additional information on SPE's Training Marketplace may be found at [link]www.spe.org/trainingmkt[link]. For specific queries contact trainingmkt@spe.org or call +1.972.952.9393.
