Engineer in Training Program

Union Gas supports the concept of creating a technical development process for our engineering employees to reflect our focus on people. We support on-the-job training for engineers and builds on Union Gas's "Strive Higher" views. As such, Union Gas has developed an Engineer in Training Program (EIT) to combine the technical training achieved at university with on-the-job training.
