Revolutionizing the Philippine Merchant Marine Academy Graduate School: the I...sabaribmt
The Fourth Industrial Revolution is inevitable, and the education industry responded through Education 4.0. Much has been said on how the higher education could respond, including that of maritime education and training. But little has been said, if none at all, has been focused on how postgraduate education should evolve to address this challenge. Thus, this paper reviews articles and researches focusing on Education 4.0 and Industry 4.0 to identify common factors and requirements that higher education must fulfill to respond. These, in turn, are applied to postgraduate education, specifically the Philippine Merchant Marine Academy Graduate School, to illustrate how it responded to the Industry 4.0 challenge based on its current plans, programs and activities

Applying Educational Technology to Higher Education in Vietnam Opportunities ...ijtsrd
Industry 4.0 is happening at a very fast pace, with many impacts on Vietnamese education, both advantages and disadvantages. Therefore, big programs such as investing in modern infrastructure, information technology and communication training people who are dynamic, independent, creative, capable of integrating well to start their businesses are becoming urgent requirements to develop countries. In particular, training labor force to meet the requirements of development and integration of the society is at the heart of development strategies that every country must pay attention to. Therefore, higher education is more and more focused and improved in Vietnam these days. This paper discusses educational technology that has been applied in Dong Nai Technology University DNTU , which is known as one of prestigious universities in the south of Vietnam. It is expected that innovations in educational technology would facilitate students to develop themselves and make a great contribution of human resources to the society although those innovations have brought opportunities and challenges to Vietnamese universities in general and to DNTU in particular. The authors also propose recommendations to Vietnamese policy makers in terms of higher education.

The Talent Gap Crisis - Is Manufacturing Sexy Enough for the Next Generations? CBIZ, Inc.
Manufacturing employment accounts for 12.8 million jobs in the U.S. Yet, currently about 452,000 manufacturing positions remain vacant across the nation – a staggering statistic. Manufacturers saw this coming more than two decades ago as the retirement of the baby boomer generation began to impact the industry. Compounding the loss of experienced workers, the introduction of new manufacturing technologies, the industry’s persistent image problem and the cultural shift in the demand for work-life balance have catapulted the talent shortage to the industry’s top challenge.

This survey seeks to understand some of the key priorities for manufacturers as well as their strategies for growth, specifically with respect to capabilities, physical resources and human capital.
OPPORTUNITIES IN HUMAN CAPITAL INVESTMENT FOR INCLUSIVE GROWTH
Educators must be transformed from those who impart knowledge to those who facilitate learning. Curricula must be transformed from mechanisms to deliver facts into mechanisms to promote and facilitate learning and thinking.
Experts assert that a Competency-based Approach to curriculum development can facilitate this transformation. Education and training integrated (a sound general education and broad-based initial training are essential bases for lifelong continuing learning).
TVET Role to meet the need of emerging industry:
Demand-driven approach
Learning for employability
Concept of continuing life-long learning
Self-learning and focus on the learner
A search for multi-skilling
Recognition based on competency and prior learning
Recognition of the need to focus both on formal and informal sectors
Training for wage and self-employment
Decentralized system requiring both strong national and decentralized institutions
Policy and delivery separate, market-driven
Participatory governance, recognition of multiple actors, social dialogue
21st Century Filipino Skilled Workforce Characteristic:
Technically competent
Innovative and creative
Knowledge-based, with higher order thinking skills
With foundational life skills
In pursuit of lifelong learning opportunities
Possessing desirable work attitudes and behavior
TVET Trends & Specific Skills Interventions :
KNOWLEDGE-BASED ECONOMY - Higher Order Thinking Skills (HOTS) are introduced to advocate critical thinking, analysis and problem solving to augment and enhance learning outcomes in TVET. They have also become common feature of standard-based education reforms.
RAPID TECHNOLOGICAL CHANGE - Possession of Generic Soft Skills has become a pre-requisite in the new work place. Skills including cognitive, interpersonal, attitudes, values work habits and enterprise, innovation and creativity are very much embedded in capacity building in TVET.
GLOBAL WARMING - Sustainable Development as key agenda of UNs and other development organizations education provisions, significantly calls upon reorienting TVET curriculum towards sustainability while maintaining the principles of 6Rs: Reduce, Reuse, Renew, Recycle, Repair and Rethink perspective.
POVERTY ALLEVIATION - Entrepreneurship, Modular Employable Skills and Informal Sector skills are largely considered to advance poverty reduction mechanisms and create gainful opportunities particularly in unorganized sectors.

Leading the Change in Emerging Markets: Corporate Real Estate trends in Techn...JLL
Innovation and growth are strategic imperatives for technology companies. In order to respond to a quickly changing environment, win the market share race and seize the advantage of disruptive innovation, technology companies have to be dynamic, fluid and bold. This involves a high degree of risk, which many are willing to take in anticipation of future rewards.
Jones Lang LaSalle’s Global Corporate Real Estate (CRE) Trends 2013 confirmed that companies around the world plan to increase their real estate portfolios in emerging markets. Zooming into the technology sector, respondents reveal that technology companies are among the most aggressive in pursuing growth opportunities and expanding their footprint in emerging markets. This pursuit, however, exposes them to a diverse set of risks associated with new markets and pressures to support this growth with flexible and efficient portfolios.

US Economic Outlook - Being Decided - M Capital Group August 2021.pdfpchutichetpong
The U.S. economy is continuing its impressive recovery from the COVID-19 pandemic and not slowing down despite re-occurring bumps. The U.S. savings rate reached its highest ever recorded level at 34% in April 2020 and Americans seem ready to spend. The sectors that had been hurt the most by the pandemic specifically reduced consumer spending, like retail, leisure, hospitality, and travel, are now experiencing massive growth in revenue and job openings.
Could this growth lead to a “Roaring Twenties”? As quickly as the U.S. economy contracted, experiencing a 9.1% drop in economic output relative to the business cycle in Q2 2020, the largest in recorded history, it has rebounded beyond expectations. This surprising growth seems to be fueled by the U.S. government’s aggressive fiscal and monetary policies, and an increase in consumer spending as mobility restrictions are lifted. Unemployment rates between June 2020 and June 2021 decreased by 5.2%, while the demand for labor is increasing, coupled with increasing wages to incentivize Americans to rejoin the labor force. Schools and businesses are expected to fully reopen soon. In parallel, vaccination rates across the country and the world continue to rise, with full vaccination rates of 50% and 14.8% respectively.
However, it is not completely smooth sailing from here. According to M Capital Group, the main risks that threaten the continued growth of the U.S. economy are inflation, unsettled trade relations, and another wave of Covid-19 mutations that could shut down the world again. Have we learned from the past year of COVID-19 and adapted our economy accordingly?
“In order for the U.S. economy to continue growing, whether there is another wave or not, the U.S. needs to focus on diversifying supply chains, supporting business investment, and maintaining consumer spending,” says Grace Feeley, a research analyst at M Capital Group.
While the economic indicators are positive, the risks are coming closer to manifesting and threatening such growth. The new variants spreading throughout the world, Delta, Lambda, and Gamma, are vaccine-resistant and muddy the predictions made about the economy and health of the country. These variants bring back the feeling of uncertainty that has wreaked havoc not only on the stock market but the mindset of people around the world. MCG provides unique insight on how to mitigate these risks to possibly ensure a bright economic future.

how to sell pi coins in South Korea profitably.DOT TECH
Yes. You can sell your pi network coins in South Korea or any other country, by finding a verified pi merchant
What is a verified pi merchant?
Since pi network is not launched yet on any exchange, the only way you can sell pi coins is by selling to a verified pi merchant, and this is because pi network is not launched yet on any exchange and no pre-sale or ico offerings Is done on pi.
Since there is no pre-sale, the only way exchanges can get pi is by buying from miners. So a pi merchant facilitates these transactions by acting as a bridge for both transactions.
How can i find a pi vendor/merchant?
Well for those who haven't traded with a pi merchant or who don't already have one. I will leave the telegram id of my personal pi merchant who i trade pi with.

The global labor market is facing clear trends that
will dramatically change professional training and
development and the way we will use new learning
technologies to better cope with such changes in the
next decade.
Traditional industrial economies, such as the United
States of America (US), Europe and Japan, are
clearly shrinking in population while emerging
economies such as India and China, are recording sky
rocketing positions in the global labor market.
More than one billion workers from emerging
economies have joined the international labor market
since the year 2000. At the same time, the US
Ministry of Labor provocatively forecasted that the
ten top jobs of 2010 would not have existed in 2004;
while the European Commission Statistical offices
projected that the rise of the average worker’s age
alone will cut Europe’s growth at least 1% annually
for the next three decades.
Such demographic drift, a clearly recognized pattern
in today’s world labor market, hides a slower but
The PEARL Initiative: Building a common Petroleum Engineering Abstract Reference framework for Learning

2. even more relevant challenge: the will of emerging
economies to better and faster develop higher skills
in their workforce to gain higher positions in the
production chain left free by an aging and shrinking
population in the traditionally better skilled part of
the world.
On average, retirement age is around 55 in
this marketplace.
As a result, the Petroleum Engineering Labor market
is entering an even more critical evolution stage
mainly due to such additional difficulties added to
the vertical.
Being well aware of the fact that the worldwide
production model set up by western multinationals
will be the first to suffer from economic slowdowns,
emerging economies want to rapidly upscale their
value chain turning their work forces into high level
knowledge workers before current economy
conditions change again.
The Chinese Ministry of Research & Development
set a goal in 2006 to reduce dependency of foreign
technology to a share of 30% from more than 50%
today to rise its Science and Technology Innovation
investments to 60% of its Economic Growth by 2020
(China Daily February 2006 on new Research &
Development [RD] spending boost in China).
Fig. 1. The Oil marketplace is swiftly moving to complex
Within such a challenging–yet opportunity
generating–global labor market scenario, the Oil
Industry is facing an even more complex evolution,
due to the unavoidable constraint of having to deal
with the shrinking supply of natural resources.
and fast moving economies. Oil Human Resources (HR) as
well.
As presented in Fig. 1 and Fig. 2, the Oil market
training demand and supply balance is affected by
additional trends such as:
•
Forecast is lowering every year. Project
slippage and mature oil fields shrink (circa
10%)
•
Drilling today is taking place in complex
conditions and environments, while
knowledge of subsoil conditions improve
leveraging the current know-how
•
•
North America, the Middle East and Russia
are experiencing the highest skill shortage
while rampant or alternative economies are
in a surplus condition (Venezuela, Mexico
and also China, India and Indonesia)
The utmost level of experience today in the
Oil and Gas industry is within personnel
ranging between 46 to 49 years (see Fig. 3).
Fig. 2. The Oil Supply Chain has to follow in complexity
with decreasing capacity growth, steeper global decline and
more complex extraction practices.
Using the traditional pace and means to build up the
necessary industry-standard competence framework
to oversee such new, complex oil field activities
seems out of scope. As a result, we can estimate that
within the next 5 to 10 years, the Petroleum
Engineering labor marketplace will be witnessing a
potential massive Industry Challenge known as the
Big Crew Change (Fig. 3) implying a rapid shift in
knowledge balances (and economic power?). Thus,

•
Enforce strategic (sustainable in the long
term) rather than tactical activities and

In a nutshell, tomorrow’s leaders are those who will
conceive and design new services and solutions for
the Oil vertical that will enable them to massively
and rapidly build effective and efficient learning and
reference
materials.
Leading
organizations
understand that new architectures for wider
distribution and wiser sharing of knowledge is
becoming mandatory.
Fig. 3. The Oil Industry will confront increasing rapid and
massive competency, skills and knowledge development
needs within new areas and new personnel, a sector trend
well known as The Big Crew Change.
Recovery of the shrinking supply will come from
advanced operation and more complex project/oil
extraction practices (e.g., deep water drilling). For
this to be possible, the future workforce will need to
be trained and prepared to change the world of
tomorrow’s oil drilling.
Experience, advanced project capability, superior
technology, and geology knowledge will drive
market leadership tomorrow. Those who will not
invest in changing their organizational learning
practices today might not be leading tomorrow.
Thus, the Oil industry as a whole requires:
•
A strong capability to analyze, target and
keep the focus on the most likely future path
of the market, including hardening the
knowledge and skill base of its field workers
•
This paper introduces a shared attempt from world
leading stakeholders respectively in the Learning
Technologies, Oil Plants Manufacturing and Skills
Development sectors, namely Giunti Labs, Baker
Hughes and PetroSkills, to develop a shared
approach to producing, packaging, distributing
accessing, sharing, and reusing Knowledge, Learning
and Information nuggets. Known as
PEARL
DROPS (Digital Repository Objects for Petroleum
Skills), these nuggets will be possibly delivered via
multiple media channels and devices and well
indexed across the Industry to accelerate Time to
Competency and Time to Knowledge of new and
existing workers entering the fast forwarding world
of Petroleum Skills learning and knowledge
development.
Augment the ability to respond to market
challenges and turnarounds in the most
efficient and timely manner, including a

Building and sharing common repositories of
knowledge, learning and information assets that will
foster the development of better and faster personal
skills and business-critical competencies where and
when needed, will be a must for the Oil Industry to
survive and compete at best. To achieve this, the
Industry must act together. And fast.

4. INNOVATE TO COMPETE! THE
RELEVANCE OF NEW GENERATION
LEARNING TECHNOLOGIES SOLUTIONS
AND STANDARDS TOWARDS COMPETENCY
BASED EDUCATION AND
PERSONALIZATION
The development of technologies over the last 30
years has been impressive, but only some innovations
have helped to achieve better education, favoring
new pedagogical strategies and models in a
disruptive way.
After the leapfrog advancements brought to
education by the advent of personal computing in the
80s and the internet in the 90s, today we are at the
dawn of what many foresee to be a next giant leap
forward in the use of technologies for education
based on the converging expansion of broadband,
mobile and ubiquitous internet access and the rapid
uptake of Personal, Social and Viral Content
Networks and Digital Marketplaces.
Blogs, Social and Virtual Communities, are starting
to demonstrate their effectiveness for online
education, giving evidence that where workers and
students interact amongst themselves within social
networks, accessing and sharing contents with viral
distribution marketplaces, they construct cumulative
knowledge far beyond self learning alone.
Fig. 4. After the advent of Personal Computing in the 80s
and the Internet in the 90s, today we are rapidly moving
towards learning communities and competency based
education well supported by new media and skills based
personalization techniques.
In the meantime, new trends are rapidly emerging
into the contemporary eLearning/learning market,
empowering the more effective and efficient
production, management and sharing of adaptive,
context aware and multi channel learning materials
able to support the new opportunities and approaches
offered by Personal and Collaborative Learning.
Namely:
•

Repositories (DRs) and Learning Content
Management Systems (LCMSs) from

(LMSs) are today the de facto market choice
as opposed to the first generation, turnkey
and closed Learning Management System
(LMS) learning platforms. Today, new
generation open specifications are available
for content tagging, packaging and tracking
(as the one defined by NATO’s Advanced
Distributed Learning, ADL, initiative for a
Shareable Content Objects Reusable Model,
SCORM, for Defense training or by the
Medbiquitous Initiative for Health Science
Education)

rapidly becoming the content publishing
Location based, context aware and “always on”
ubiquitous mobile access to working information and
performance support is becoming a must for workers
on the move needing to stay up to speed with a
continuously evolving labor and professional
marketplace.
As depicted in Fig. 4, the convergence of these
innovative advancements together with the
architectural move of the Internet toward Service
Oriented Architectures and Cloud Computing will
leapfrog Online Education towards higher levels of
user interactivity and cross community collaboration,
favoring a steady migration towards a constructive
pedagogical
model
of
Collaborative
and
Personalized learning after the years of Behavioral
CBT (Computer Based Training) in the 80s and
Cognitive WBT (Web Based Training) of the 90s.

considering their existing skills and
competencies, background learning portfolio and
profiles, including abilities and disabilities, as well as
available devices, location and user context,
repackaging contents on the fly to best satisfy the
users’ knowledge access and performance support
need and scenario of use.
Skills gap analysis and remediation tools
and standards are emerging, making
adaptation and personalization much more
viable, competency based assessment and
recovery much more effective and online
learning efficient and attractive; in a word,
personal.
New
digital
content
marketplace
architectures
and
“narrowcasting”
distribution models are emerging, able to
broker learning assets/resources between
content providers and consumers, using the
profiling capabilities of new technologies
and personal media devices.
The “one size fits all” approach of the mass
media marketplace, which has ruled content
distribution over the last 50 and more years,
is rapidly giving way to highly customized
learning
content
and
services
(Narrowcasting, Fig. 5) that are able to
continuously
profile
and
cluster
communities of interest and practice, and
deliver “on demand” relevant content to the
end users.
On-demand delivery of customized and personalized
learning content was simply not economically
sustainable and technologically achievable in the past
due to the heavy production and distribution costs
associated with traditional media.
Thanks to technological innovation and underlying
trends as discussed, a new blend of innovative
architectural and business services for learning
content publication and distribution (known as
Marchitectures by many) is now available. These
innovative technical and business solutions will offer
personalized learning experiences and instructional
content to knowledge workers on the move and in the
Fig. 5. Interactive Narrowcasting (delivering content to
Ubiquitous, Nomadic and Mobile Personal Communities)
is emerging as the main content distribution marketplace of
the new Millennium.
Personal Media and Social networks have changed
the world of content overnight and made it more
attractive to end users who are “always on” and
continuously “on the move”; and the nomadic learner
is no exception.
Many assume that this is the enhancement that
educational technologists and service providers were
awaiting to fully support the dramatic turn towards
competency and skills based education with the
collaborative and personalization capabilities that it
needs at its foundation.
New
generation
learning
solutions
and
Marchitectures which may be conceived today have
the underlying power to fill the gap left by
traditional curricula and vocational education
towards rapid and massive personal skills
development (Fig. 6).
Those who are first to invest in these developments
may gain market leadership at a pace unmet in
previous media markets. Those who relax and rely on
past solutions might lose their legacy overnight.

6. THE RELEVANCE OF COMMON
STANDARDS AND SECTOR RELATED
APPLICATIONPROFILES
Given the rapidly evolving labor marketplace and
growing skills shortage, the Oil Industry must be
innovative and prepared to embrace
new
technologies and solutions that will significantly
improve training and development practices towards
competency, skills and media based learning
personalization.
Fig. 6. A blending of new generation Architectural and
Business Models (Marchitectures) will emerge to support
new online learning services filling the current gap left by
traditional Curricular and Vocational Education for more
personalized learning and field performance support from
the Knowledge Workers of the New Millennium.
On such basis, many organizations wanting to
preserve or gain a leading position in the emerging
global labor market competition, are considering the
opportunity of building new services that will
encompass such new trends towards open, standard
and highly granular, multi device learning and
informative resources (knowledge objects) that are
semantically tagged to sector agreed metadata and
competency descriptors, able to interoperate with
existing Enterprise HR, Learning and Skills
Management systems, yet offering a new degree of
personalization and adequateness to meet the
learning needs of their target user basis, being
employees, students and citizens of the New
Millennium.
Organizations that will be able to be the first to
invest in such innovations and reach their workforces
with updated knowledge on demand services that are
adapted to the user skills, location, device and
context of need, will have a winning edge. They will
be better able to face contemporary and future
challenges and opportunities in the global
competition; a winning edge that any contemporary
knowledge organization cannot afford to not consider
if it wants to compete and win in today’s global
market.
To be economically viable, technologically proven
and pedagogically sound, the sector must not attempt
to re-invent the wheel, but rather rely on state-of-theart standards and best practices developed by other
sectors in the last 5 to 10 years, yet be prepared to
add its own touch, considering the specific needs and
uniqueness of its stakeholders.
As witnessed by several cases to date, clustering
stakeholders with high buying power and
provisioning volumes, such as the Oil Industry, to
control and rule their own needs for standards, not
only makes their adoption more focused and viable,
but also provides the vertical sector with significant
power to influence and possibly affect the early
pioneering specification to a wider market adoption
roadmap as it evolves (Fig. 7).
Fig. 7. Technical specifications may require between 5 to
10 years before they are fully adopted by Pioneering
Research & Development (RD) attempts to full market
adoption.
The PEARL Initiative: Building a common Petroleum Engineering Abstract Reference framework for Learning
Page 6
7. While a specification roadmap can take up to 8-10
years to crawl up the ladder from pioneering RD
efforts to widely adopted official standards, once
adopted, the return on investment rapidly increases in
what many recognize as the Hockey Stick effect (Fig.
8).
Fig 8. Once they become stable and are customized by
vertical communities that are in agreement on common and
shared protocol, standards facilitate a steady and rapid
adoption known as The Hockey Stick effect and make the
positive ROI of standards self evident.
Considering the long standards roadmap and the
valuable ROI of standards adoption, a well
established best practice proven by other sector
initiatives is not to develop new specifications or
standards from scratch, but rather to define a
common abstract reference framework. Such a
framework
includes
current
and
possible
stakeholders, present and future services and business
models that enable stakeholders to forecast all needed
interoperability boundaries and related interfaces in
order to propose technical data bindings and
protocols (e.g., XML schemas and Web Services) and
to better serve the existing and future stakeholders
distributed within and across the vertical.
To be defined, an Abstract Reference Framework
needs as a minimum:
•
An Abstract Reference Architecture defining
its sub-components and boundaries, data
formats and protocols
•
A selection of best of breed subsets of
existing and proofed standards “profiled” to
serve all foreseen needs and demands of the
target vertical (Application Profile)
•
A set of Open Guidelines and
Recommendations to guide the wider
adoption and certified compliancy with the
proposed profile
•
Similar to a few other key industrial sectors such as
Defense, Avionics and Life Sciences, the Oil
Industry still has the needed solidity and strength to
make this change happen not alone by means of
isolated and unsynchronized initiatives, but rather by
a common and consensus driven effort among its
main market players and stakeholders.
A set of demonstrative implementations to
showcase adoption both across and between
different vendor and user implementations
of the profile (PlugFests)
SCORM, Medbiquitous and AICC are just some
examples
of
different
Abstract
Reference
Frameworks and Application Profiles that were
developed respectively by the US Defense, Life
Science and Avionics Industries on a host of preexisting specifications that were designed and
maintained by the IMS Global Learning Consortium.
The IMS GLC is a well known body that groups
leading educational technology service and solution
providers and designs and manages a general purpose
learning specifications lifecycle that needs profiling
within specific industry verticals.
Last but not least emerging technical documentation
XML standards such as DITA (http://www.ditaxml.org/) and S1000D should be considered when
training and performance support materials are
embedding references to technical documentation.
Once adopted as the “de facto” industry reference
standard within their respective international
communities of vendors and suppliers, the forecasted
hockey stick effect took place, granting ready access
to more affordable learning solutions and materials
there on. The PEARL Initiative targets a similar
development for the Oil Industry vertical.

PetroSkills, and Baker Hughes respectively world
leading Learning Technologies, Training Services
and Engineering Solutions providers for the Oil
Industry, launched a joint attempt to establish a

framework for Learning, or PEARL.
Ruled by a central PEARL Committee and open to
any Petroleum Training stakeholder willing to join on
a yearly subscription basis, the goals of the PEARL
Initiative are to define:

guideLines
&
Specifications detailing the specific XML
bindings and Web Service interfaces for
adopted standards, as well as descriptive
papers for effective implementation and
certification practices. Expected outputs are

addressed specification in the PEARL
Profile together with XML schemas and
Web Services Definition Language [WSDL]
PEARL PARTS, a set of Pilot Applications
and Reference Trials testing and
showcasing the benefits of a shared PEARL
reference framework and application profile.
Demonstrations will be held in live events
and in a demonstration area named PEARL
Plugfests, a term inherited from the
successful events launched by ADL at the
beginning of the SCORM community
building, gathering different vendors and
suppliers to demonstrate the benefit of a
common sector specification
At the following SPE meetings to be held in RIO
(Brazil, April 2010) and Florence (Italy, September
2010), first PEARL activities and achievements will
be reported and demonstrated. For example:

Multiple content packaging standard formats will be
considered for the creation of PEARL DROP
packages (PEARL FLOWS, Fig. 11) that will support
either simple content structuring (SCORM 1.2),
adaptive navigation (SCORM 2004), multi user role
playing (IMS Learning Design) and/or learning tools
and assessments added on to the content flows (IMS
Common Cartridge).
PEARL GLOVES will render PEARL DROP and
FLOW sequences in a distributed manner on behalf
of third party LMSs that do not support the devices
and packaging formats that are supported by the
PEARL profile, returning tracking information via
web services to call Enterprise systems as needed.
PEARL GLOVES running on deck of Personal
Media will also be available to empower just in time
oil field delivery, supporting the Oil professional just
when and where needed.
Exploiting devices supporting location-based GPS
and WIFI detection will also be possible through the
addition of geo location metadata to the indexing
profile of DROPS and FLOWS as needed.

CONCLUSIONS
Today, the demographic drift in world population
brings new challenges to the Oil Labor Market.
Together with the oil supply trends affecting the
world economy, this drift can radically change the
topology of Petroleum Engineering and labor in the
near future.
Higher degrees of knowledge personalization become
the main challenge for leading stakeholders of the Oil
vertical who are aiming to keep their high stake
ranking in such an evolving scenario; or to gain new
positioning.

Personalization may be achieved through wider
uptake of new learning solutions and personalized
