IIP plays a leading role in organizing specialized training programmes, for engineers (chemical and mechanical) and chemists in the Petroleum Refining, Petrochemicals, Power and Transport sector. IIP imparted training to more than 5000 personnel since its inception. During the past decade, IIP has organized more than 120 training programmes. It offers a variety of courses to scientific, technical and management personnel employed in petroleum refining & Petroleum Products user industry.  These are moderately priced courses designed to impart the necessary knowledge & skills. These are conducted by talented, highly competent and experienced scientists/Engineers working in the respective areas. Participants are provided ample opportunities to have state-of-the-art knowledge and hands-on experience

NEED FOR TRAINING                                       
 

Dynamic and growth oriented organisations recognise training as an important aspect of the management function in a rapidly changing economic and social environment. Training is a continuous and incessant learning process in Human Resource Development (HRD). As the strength of any organization is the strength of the human resources in the organizations, training is undoubtedly an important part of the organization renewal as an ongoing process. Training is a process through which a person enhances and maintain his efficiency, capability and effectiveness at work by improving and updating his knowledge, understanding & skills relevant to his job.
 

OBJECTIVE OF TRAINING                         

 Broadly, "training" is intended to:

Help the trainees in acquiring knowledge of the subject matter

Bring about the change in the attitudes, understanding and behavior among the trainees towards the particular object, programme and problem.

Help in putting the theory into practice and bringing generalization from the various hypotheses.

Help in evaluating the abilities, potential & competence of the trainees for particular assignment/ job skill.

Motivate the trainees for self-learning and development.

Enhance the problem solving and decision making capabilities of the trainees.

Help in narrowing down the gap between expected level of performance and actual level of performance among the trainees.

Provide scientific pace of knowledge and skill to discharge the duties and responsibilities of the trainees meaningfully and purposefully

SIGNIFICANCE OF TRAINING ACTIVITIES AT IIP    

IIP attaches utmost significance to these programmes in view of the following :

IIP acts as a window to the latest information on the subject for the participants in these programmes

Participants in the programme have a physical feel of IIP's R&D facilities and appreciation of its strength and the services it can provide to industry

It forms a instrument of business with the industry involving technical consultancy, technological support and contract R&D

FACILITIES IN TRAINING DIVISION              
 

The Training Division of IIP is equipped with an Auditorium, a Conference room and two Lecture Theatres equipped with latest audio-visual facilities including multimedia-projecting facility. Situated at a picturesque location, about 8 Km away from main Dehradun township, IIP can accommodate about 50 participants/faculty members in its Guest House - Hostel complex and has adequate transport facilities for local visits/excursion tours.
 

TYPES OF TRAINING PROGRAMMES           

During late sixties, IIP organized long duration training programme of 12 and 18 months. The duration of these programme was subsequently reduced to 3 months because the participants from the industries were often not permitted to be away from their working places for such a long time. Presently, 2-3 weeks duration programmes are mostly organized as per the requirement of sponsoring organizations.

Earlier only 3 to 4 programmes were organized every year. However, the activity started picking up in 1992 when more and more industry appreciated the importance of such training and the strength of IIP in this area, as is shown in the chart given below. Lately some of the International organisations have also started to nominate their candidates in some of our programmes. Efforts are being made to collaborate with some of international companies to organize in-house training programmes at their locations.
