In response to the needs of remote working and adapting to the changes that 2020 demanded of us, we took the opportunity of using virtual formats to transform our Aprendamos con GeoPark training program. The program offers courses taught by our own employees, and thanks to their experience we could stay connected, keep up to date on GeoPark news, and increase our knowledge of the industry and of tools used in daily tasks.
The results of this program help meet our goal of encouraging and supporting employee participation in international meetings and congresses, which helps keep us up to date with latest sector technologies and remain at the forefront of industry best practices.
The program in turn allowed us to stay connected, share with each other and acknowledge the talent of our colleagues. Although these meetings were optional, they were all widely attended.
