Oil and Gas Technician Training

High Plains Technology Center is the official mid-continent site for hands-on oil and gas training. Our training is unique in that participants use simulators which effectively provide real-life scenarios common to the oil and gas industry. The result: through hands-on training, our students are prepared to work in the most realistic environment within the industry and can transition smoothly from the training from to the derrick floor.

Safety is embedded throughout each module taught at High Plains, and is our highest priority. Since December 2005, we have trained 4,200 potential workers in the skill areas identified by industry partners as necessary to work in the oil and gas field. Further, in October 2009, High Plains was selected by OSHA as the education institution to develop curriculum for training OSHA compliance officers nationwide in oil and gas safety.

behavior-based leadership training
At the suggestion of industry partners, High Plains has developed a leadership program to help identify potential leaders within organizations and provide them with necessary skills to advance to management positions. This leadership training experience has become our niche, and it is a program of which we are very proud.

Our leadership program is custom-developed for individual companies and is a true collaborative effort between High Plains staff and representatives within the organization. Companies can pick and choose which elements to include or add their own. Popular topics include leadership characteristics, values, communication, culture, coaching, recognition, personality assessment, championship team and change.
