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