Argentine talent, key to innovation and productivity in Oil&Gas and mining

Currently the jyoung professionals of any latitude are considered citizens of the world. Some embrace the trend of becoming digital nomads, others decide to emigrate from their countries to acquire new experiences and, also, a good part decide to develop where they were born and contribute added value to global projects.

The path of continuous training talent can acquire different facets, in a dynamic and volatile context, where change – we must accept it – is a constant that crosses all generations and even a good part of professional activities and functions.

Particularly, this current climate is even more challenging for business organizations that base their know-how in the universe called STEM (for its acronym in English: Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math) which refers to the field of science, technology, engineering and mathematics, today favorably impacted by the management of the knowledge economy.

For a company of global stature like ABB, with a century-long history and, in addition, with strong operational and industrial roots in Argentinait is vital to identify, attract, train and motivate talented people on a daily basis, generating valid spaces for their growth and development.

Today, opportunities are also multiplying thanks to the fact that Argentina is on the verge of being able to achieve a significant acceleration that will allow it to boost the activity of both Oil&Gas as of mining. Without a doubt, a great opportunity to combine investment, talent, innovation, science, automation, productivity and sustainability.

The consolidation of the Vaca Muerta activity, not only with the added value generated by internal supply to local industries, but also by exports to neighboring countries and, even more so, with a view to supporting the LNG projectsanticipate a flow of very significant investments. Something similar begins to register in the miningfull of ongoing projects based on lithium and in other resources, such as copper and silver, that Argentine geology provides.
