Executive Summary
The energy industry is undergoing a transition as it addresses its role in meeting the continued growth in demand for energy while ensuring it is cost competitive, sustainable, and its use is environmentally safe. This is increasing scrutiny on how energy companies manage their non-technical risks and challenges. UH Energy, at the University of Houston, is offering the Managing Non-Technical Risks in Energy Program aimed at helping train individuals and provide skills and tools towards managing those non-technical risks for energy companies.
Whether you are just starting to address these types of issues or you have been at it for a while, this program can equip energy professionals – current and future – with the necessary skills to address this changing – and challenging – landscape over the coming years. The program focuses on developing (or enhancing) your framework, managing of stakeholders and a variety of non-technical risks into your enterprise–wide risk management practices.
Designed and presented by leaders from industry and accomplished faculty from the University of Houston, the program provides the necessary frameworks and skillsets through a structured series of micro-credentials or “badges.” Instruction for each badge consists of two modules, with each module has 5, 1.5-hour online learning sessions and a 2-hour in-person group engagement session.
