The tailor-made courses will strengthen and enhance the capacities and skills of trainees as per their needs and requirements in the different disciplines through on-the-job-training.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Geothermal Development Company&rsquo;s geothermal projects will serve as rich learning grounds. The specialized courses will focus on theoretical and practical aspects in the field and project work.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Geothermal Centre of Excellence Ag. Principal Officer Dr. Robert Ogutu expressed optimism about the upcoming training. &ldquo;The last training was very successful,&rdquo; noted Dr. Ogutu. At GDC&rsquo;s Center of Excellence, we are excited about the upcoming training. It will take place at GDC&rsquo;s training facility in Nakuru Polo Centre and at the Menengai Geothermal Project,&rdquo; he added.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Geothermal Center of Excellence (GCE) has so far trained more than 50 trainees from Djibouti, Ethiopia, Uganda, and The University of Dar e Salaam. The trainings took place between the year 2018 to 2019 at Polo Centre, Menengai, and Baringo-Silali fields.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Geothermal Development Company (GDC) is preparing to facilitate the second phase of the Djibouti Geothermal Energy Development Authority (ODDEG) training which is expected to kick-off before the end of the year.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":730,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[93,83,10],"class_list":["post-729","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-news","tag-djibouti","tag-djibouti-office-for-geothermal-development","tag-gdc"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.gdc.co.ke\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/729","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.gdc.co.ke\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.gdc.co.ke\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.gdc.co.ke\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.gdc.co.ke\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=729"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/www.gdc.co.ke\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/729\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":731,"href":"https:\/\/www.gdc.co.ke\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/729\/revisions\/731"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.gdc.co.ke\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/730"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.gdc.co.ke\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=729"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.gdc.co.ke\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=729"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.gdc.co.ke\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=729"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
