Working in the Community

Workforce nationalization programme. Bolashak constantly strives to increase its numbers of local employees, and we have a Workforce Nationalization Programme, which defines our objectives and strategy to achieve this. The success of our nationalization programme is demonstrated by the fact that we have grown our local workforce from 40 employees to over 2,500 employees in 8 years.

Training programmes for Bolashak’s own local staff and Bolashak’s contracted personnel. Bolashak invests in its own staff through training programmes.

Training programmes for unemployed local people. Bolashak has invested in the training of 120 unemployed local people from Atyrau. Bolashak has employed unemployed local welders and pipefitters to put them through training courses to develop their skills and qualify them to a recognized industry standard. These personnel have subsequently been deployed on Oil and Gas projects.

Sponsorship of students. Bolashak has sponsored the education of 22 students to enable them to complete further education courses in Oil and Gas, Construction, Management, Accounting, Finance and Economics.

Investment in developing infrastructure and facilities

Bolashak is committed to long-term involvement in the communities in which it operates, and our strategy has been to invest in property in the areas, in which we operate. Examples of this are:

Investment in our corporate Headquarters in Atyrau

Investment in a Safety Training facility in Atyrau, to provide BOSIET, H2S, Emergency Response, Fire Prevention, Hazard Awareness and other safety training courses.

We have invested several million dollars in the above projects
