DRAFT PLAN
FOR
DIGITAL PETROLEUM TRAINING INSTITUTE (DiPTI)
INTRODUCTION:
Digital Petroleum Training Institute or DiPTI is a novel technological hub and co-working space in the Petroleum Training Institute (PTI) where PTI students and fresh graduates from PTI, the staff and the institute business men and women connect, engage, develop applications, build new digital devices and invent new things. It will also provide the forum where all the courses (entrepreneurial, skills or academic) available in PTI are digitized for e-platform applications and delivery.
It will offer consulting, software, hardware, networking certifications and accreditation services and carry out applied research in collaboration with companies and organizations, aimed at finding solutions to IT-related business problems.
In today’s Global economy, where knowledge and innovation are keys to competitive success, we are delighted to say that with digital innovation, PTI is uniquely placed to provide necessary services and impetus on ICT to a growing population and to conform to international competitiveness and standards.
DiPTI will provide an exciting environment that will attract students and a broad spectrum of other residents of the nation and the continent with an interest in digital technology innovation and entrepreneurship. Various activities and programmes will be run with the aim of developing skills, encouraging innovation and promoting the development of new enterprises. All of the PTI’s existing skills development initiatives will also be run in the DiPTI.
Facilities will also be established, including world-class infrastructure, specialized computer laboratories, a software engineering library and lecture and meeting rooms.
DiPTI will be supported by the government's Ministries, Departments and Agencies (MDAs), local and international oil and gas companies, private companies, industrialists, Media Corporations, ICT Companies and Vendors, among other investors, philanthropists.
