Home » Committees » Learning and Workforce Capability Section

Where this section focuses

You build the skills and knowledge your company’s workforce needs next.

The Learning and Workforce Capability Section brings together the people responsible for building workforce capability inside member companies: training and workforce development leaders, field and craft training supervisors, instructors, apprenticeship and onboarding owners, measurement curriculum owners and early-career engineers.

Its purpose is to identify emerging skill and knowledge needs, compare how member companies develop people by role and bring industry expertise into the design and validation of SGA learning. Member input helps SGA build practical pathways, programs and resources that support workforce readiness across the natural gas industry.

How the section is led

The Section Managing Committee, made up of senior training and workforce leaders from operator member companies, sets the section’s priorities, oversees its three committees and helps the section’s resources reach members.

  • Sets section priorities and the first-year agenda
  • Validates emerging skill and knowledge needs across members
  • Brings member expertise into the design and validation of SGA learning
  • Oversees the Workforce Development, Technical Training and Measurement Training committees
  • Guides SGA Learning on where to invest

Where the section comes from

The section’s committees draw on the 2026 work of Learning & Development, Gas Training and the Learning Advisory Council. Member companies told SGA during 2026 visits that they now run workforce development and technical training as distinct functions and asked for peers to compare apprentice programs, role-based paths and engineer development with.

Where the section goes in 2027

Three committees start fresh: Workforce Development, Technical Training and Measurement Training; every committee is seeking members.
