Introduction
At Technip Energies, we recognize the power of human energies. We focus on people, both by providing opportunities to everyone and collaborating with the communities where we live and work.
Since 2011, Technip Energies in Malaysia has been implementing a series of initiatives under the SHINE program to promote and improve access to education. The program allows us to grow people starting from the root- right at school.
Challenge
Overcoming educational inequality
One of the central challenges Malaysia faces is education inequality.
More specifically, there has long been a gap in the quality and accessibility of education between rural and urban areas, influenced by factors such as allocation of school funds and teacher distribution.
In addition, disparities across socio-economic classes means that children from lower-income families often face significant educational disadvantages.
Nurturing tomorrow’s energy game-changer
Under the Malaysia National Energy Transition Roadmap, the country aims to achieve net-zero emissions by 2050. However, there is a shortage of skilled professionals needed to support this ambitious transition.
Solution
An approach along three major lines
As a response, Technip Energies has developed the SHINE Program as a long-term community initiative -empowering students through education and inspiring them to become the next generation of energy leaders.
Over the years, SHINE has grown to encompass three key programs:
- SHINE Scholarship
Developed in collaboration with Universiti Teknologi PETRONAS (UTP), the SHINE Scholarship fosters competency and skills among local talents to help solve the world's most complex energy challenges. Recipients benefit from study funds, internship experience, and job opportunities. - SHINE PINTAR
Through the PINTAR Foundation, Technip Energies adopted schools from underserved communities, complementing government efforts to provide equitable access to quality education. This program made a meaningful difference in the lives of Malaysian students by ensuring they had the support needed to succeed. - SHINE INSPI
Focused on career development and technical knowledge, SHINE INSPI delivers sessions on science, technology, engineering, mathematics (STEM), sustainability, health, safety and the environment. Organized in collaboration with the Ministry of National Unity of Malaysia, the program helps students explore and prepare for future careers.
