Total Energies EP Uganda has revealed that its youth inclusion and education initiatives have benefited up to 3,000 youths in Uganda since their rollout ten years ago.<\/p>\n
This announcement was made by Philippe Groueix, the company\u2019s General Manager, during a ceremony in Kampala commemorating the ten-year milestone of these initiatives. Groueix highlighted the significant contributions of the beneficiaries to Uganda\u2019s job market across various disciplines.<\/p>\n
\u201cWith our deep-rooted existence in Uganda, our goal is to create shared value. Empowering the youth to play an active role in their communities greatly contributes to this goal. We are pleased that many of our nearly 3,000 youth and education program beneficiaries are contributing tremendously to the country\u2019s development by deploying their professional and technical skills in Uganda\u2019s diverse sectors like the multi-energy industry, health, telecommunications, and others,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
Groueix emphasized the company\u2019s pride in contributing to society in this manner and expressed a commitment to maintaining strong connections with the beneficiaries. \u201cWe are privileged to create opportunities for young people to succeed.<\/p>\n
As a tribute to them, we are launching a campaign to spotlight some of the young people with whom we have walked this journey and to share the various contributions they are making to their communities and country,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n
The initiatives align with TotalEnergies\u2019 Corporate Social Responsibility pillar \u2018Youth Inclusion and Education\u2019 and the UN Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) 4 on Quality Education.<\/p>\n
TotalEnergies EP Uganda has implemented several youth empowerment initiatives, including an Ordinary and Advanced Level scholarship program for scholars from the Tilenga project districts, internship and graduate trainee programs, vocational training and certification, international postgraduate scholarships, the Tilenga Academy Training program, and collaborations with academic institutions to enhance knowledge transfer.<\/p>\n
Additionally, the company has facilitated the training of over 250 Government of Uganda officials in various disciplines.\u00a0At the commemoration ceremony, which convened over 200 beneficiaries, the company reaffirmed its commitment to creating more opportunities for young Ugandans to make meaningful contributions in their communities.<\/p>\n
\u201cTotalEnergies EP Uganda remains committed to empowering Ugandan youth to drive positive change and contribute to the sustainable development of their communities and country,\u201d Groueix said.\u00a0Gideon Kibirige, a reservoir engineer at TotalEnergies EP Uganda and one of the program beneficiaries, shared his journey that began in 2021 through an educational initiative application for a scholarship.<\/p>\n
\u201cMy journey with TotalEnergies EP Uganda started in 2021 when I applied for a scholarship that Total had announced. It wasn\u2019t the first time I applied, but I succeeded this time,\u201d he recounted.\u00a0Kibirige\u2019s scholarship was for studying reservoir engineering in France. He described the selection process as robust and transparent.<\/p>\n
After his studies, he returned to Uganda, where he first worked with TotalEnergies as an intern, then as a graduate trainee, and now as a reservoir engineer.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
