Training before extracting. An oil academy preparing the Chadian next generation — self-reliance through skills.

The conviction · Human capital
Training before extracting: the Chadian next generation first.
Geoscience, drilling, HSE and data streams, work-study and senior mentoring: every skilled post held by a Chadian is a share of the rent that stays in the country.
Training the Chadian next generation of the crude sector
Tchaditude is EnerTchad’s oil academy: before the assets, we build the skills. Geosciences, drilling, HSE, data — through work-study, senior mentoring and transfer, so that the oil trades are held by Chadians.
Skills on assignment
An all-segment talent pool, mobilised at short notice
The skills developed across our core poles and their capabilities — geosciences, drilling, process, logistics, HSE-Q, data — form a shared talent pool that we make available to E&P operators, industrial companies and institutions: qualified teams, assembled at short notice and deployable straight into the field.
- All-segment talent poolGeosciences, drilling & completion, refining & process, logistics, HSE-Q & waste management, data & digital — a single base fed by all the EnerTchad poles.
- Mobilisation at short noticeTeams assembled in days, not months: qualified profiles, certifications and HSE files up to date, ready to go.
- Deployable in the fieldUsed to remote sites — wellpads, depots, logistics corridors — with autonomy, living facilities and safety built in.
- Skills transferEvery provision of skills is framed: scope, deliverables, and transfer to your teams at the end of the assignment.
The national stake · Jobs & youth
A large young population, an engine for jobs.
Unemployment and underemployment hit young Chadians first. An integrated oil company acts on this front at every link in the chain: every barrel produced, transported, refined and distributed in the country creates work in the country. That is why this pole exists — and the promise “training before extracting”.
- Direct jobsEnerTchad’s trades, across the core polesDrillers, unit operators, tanker drivers, station managers, SCADA technicians, reservoir engineers, HSE, support functions — full careers, from the field to management.See the jobs & apply
- Indirect jobsSuppliers, subcontractors, local contentThe central purchasing unit gives priority to Chadian companies: construction, transport, camp catering, maintenance, digital services. Published target: 80% local content — above regional standards (Senegal targets 50% by 2030), and owned as such.Become a supplier
- Induced jobs & next generationTraining, academy, economic fabricAround every site and every station, a local economy takes shape. The Tchaditude Academy trains the next generation — scholarships, work-study, HSE certifications — so that these jobs are Chadian.Discover the academy

The context · why this pole
The challenges of Chadian oil human capital.
Building an integrated oil company in Chad first requires trained women and men — from a scarce base. Here are the six obstacles the Human capital pole must clear, ahead of the first barrel.
- 01 · ChallengeA scarce next generation, to be trained almost from scratchGeosciences, drilling, reservoir, HSE, refining: the crude trades lack locally trained talent. Expertise has long been imported — energy sovereignty starts by reversing that dependence.
- 02 · ChallengeKeeping talent in the countryQualified profiles leave for regional operators or abroad. The challenge is not only to train, but to offer career paths that make people want to build the sector here.
- 03 · ChallengeBridging the gap between university and the fieldGeneral academic training prepares poorly for the practical skills of oil work. Without a bridge to practice — internships, technical platforms, work-study — the degree stays far from the site.
- 04 · ChallengePassing on know-how that is barely documentedThe experienced generation is thin, and its tacit knowledge is lost from one site to the next. Without organised apprenticeship or mentoring, every project relearns what the previous one already knew.
- 05 · ChallengeEquipping local content, beyond the obligationEmploying and training nationals is not only a regulatory requirement: it is an HR undertaking to be structured stream by stream, with skills frameworks and certifying pathways.
- 06 · ChallengePreparing digital professions that are rarer stillThe digital-native operator needs cross-cutting skills — data, AI, sensors and the field. That hybrid profile is almost impossible to find locally: it has to be built, not waited for.
Company in formation: these challenges frame the pole’s ambition, they do not describe assets in operation.

Tchaditude · Services
Human capital services & solutions
Human capital as a service: secondment, recruitment and local content, training and HSE, HR management — four lines for operators and industry.
- Human capital, delivered as a service.Chad does not lack talent: it lacks the machinery that brings it up to the level of the position, at the right time, with the paperwork in order. That is exactly what Tchaditude sells to E&P operators, oilfield-service companies and industry — four service lin
- What each line contains.What we deliver, under which contract formats, and what the operator keeps in-house. Nothing is billed as a package before the list of deliverables has been written.
- The need is not the same at every phase.An operator in exploration is not after what a field ten years into production is after. Four entry points, depending on where you are.
- What we accept to be judged on.A workforce supplier is judged on six things. Here they are in writing, so the client can hold them against the contract.
Tchaditude · Outreach
Reach of the know-how
Chadian know-how does not stop at the border: regional reach and skills made available beyond Chad — train, document, replicate, share.
- Chadian know-how does not stop at the border.What EnerTchad designs for its own realities — frugal, modular, locally operated — is replicable wherever the context resembles ours. Our vocation: train, document, replicate and share, in Chad first, then towards comparable African basins.
- Five channels to make skills radiateTraining our own teams is not enough: Tchaditude’s ambition is for oil and technical skills to feed the whole country. Five channels work at it.
Tchaditude · Partnerships
Our partnership model
The Tchaditude partnership model brings together E&P operators, the State, schools and industry: from agreement to diploma, shared human capital.
- Our model of partnership.EnerTchad starts with no assets: its strategy is asset-light. It creates value by making itself useful to Chad’s oil ecosystem — operators, the State, technical partners and investors — through service rather than ownership.
- The cycle of a partnership, from agreement to diplomaA Tchaditude partnership is not a logo on a brochure: it is a tooled cycle, with dated commitments on both sides.
