Chevron Nigeria Limited, CNL, operator of the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation /CNL Joint Venture, does not give considerations to race, gender, religion, ethnicity and disability in its employment decisions.
The company in a statement issued Thursday, described itself as an equal opportunities employer.
The statement read: ”Employment into the company is dependent on organizational requirements and business needs.
”CNL’s sponsorship of the Vocational Training Programme, VTP, was a corporate social responsibility initiative intended to help build the skills and capacity of the VTP trainees from the local communities in various areas of oil and gas operations.
”Trainees spend a portion of their time in this programme attached to a CNL facility. The technical skills that the VTP trainees are equipped with are transferable and, therefore, the trainees are capable of contributing to the oil and gas industry and various other sectors of the Nigerian economy.
”Several of the VTP trainees have been able to get employment within the oil and gas industry. The VTP was never and is still not intended to serve as a pathway to employment in CNL for the VTP trainees. CNL never made any commitment in this regard to the VTP trainees.
”CNL will continue to encourage qualified persons to apply to the company for employment, whenever there are vacancies.”
