Launched by PSAC in 1995, the Petroleum Competency Program (PCP) is a groundbreaking initiative that certifies workers using a standard to determine the ability of a worker to perform specific activities to agreed-upon expectations. The program lists the tasks and skills involved in doing a job, describes their safe and effective application in typical working conditions and specifies the criteria that should be used to judge how a worker applies them.
The Petroleum Services Association of Canada (PSAC), through its Education Fund program, is providing scholarships for students pursuing post-secondary education for those students connected to PSAC Regular Member companies as well as students at technical colleges enrolled in petroleum-related or trades programs, especially those who would potentially be interested in a career in the petroleum services sector.
