Education

Dolphin Energy has created and implemented a wide variety of training and development programmes for its national staff, with an in-house HR training team that concentrates on both long-term and short-term career planning for both specialist and management roles.

A key initiative begun in 2004 has been the company's internship programs for undergraduate students from universities and higher colleges. This has given scores of young people an opportunity to gather practical workplace experience, as well as helping the company to attract future qualified recruits.

Since 2003 we have also implemented an Associate program where new graduates join the company as associates and embark on a 2 year fast track development program with planned vocational training and mentoring from line managers and professional colleagues, before transitioning to become full time employees. Through this program some associates have already assumed senior technical and middle management positions within the company.

Overseas post graduate training programs and scholarships for national staff have been instituted, to encourage professional development at a senior level for junior and middle managers. Dolphin offers financial and practical support for selected staff members seeking wider energy industry experience and better qualifications.
