Stavanger Offshore Technical College is a county council college, situated at Kalhammaren, which offers different technical college studies and further education. It is one of Norway’s largest colleges in its field. The college is specified as an institution for tertiary education for those who have completed their further education studies, but who desire a shorter course of study than the traditional university educa- tion. Over the past few years, the college has been significantly upgraded with new technical equipment, ventilation systems and educational resources. Workshops, laboratories and simulators have been mod- ernised and adjusted to meet current educational needs and those of the future. The computer system at the college has been enhanced for exten- sive use within the syllabus. There is also a department for ‘private courses’ which plans and holds courses on a commercial basis. The college premises for health and safety are located at Tømmerodden. There is a student body of 400 students every year at the college for further education level. There is also a larger number of course par- ticipants at the college safety centre. We have almost 80 employees who are highly qualified and experienced in their subjects. The college is ideally situated and has a fantastic view across the fjord in Stavanger. Its proximity to the sea is exploited for many of the exercises, and highlights the maritime traditions of the college. More than 150 years of educating - a rich history… 8 Stavanger Offshore Technical College is the outcome of the merger between Stavanger Technical College and Stavanger Maritime College in 2001. Both colleges shared a good solid history as educational establishments in Stavanger, – a proud tradition which Stavanger Offshore Technical College has been able to build on. tavanger Maritime Further Education College: SFrom way back, Stavanger has had two independent colleges within maritime education: Stavanger Engineering School and Stavanger Navigation School. The latter, which was founded in 1853, was originally called Stavanger School for Sea- men, but in 1956 it was renamed Stavanger Navigation School. After the gradual replacement of sail ships with steamships around 1870, the demand for greater knowledge grew, and the answer lay in the establishment of Stavanger Engineering School. In 1956, the two schools moved to Kalhammaren, and together became Stavanger Maritime College of Further Education in 1980. When the oil industry was under way in the 1970s, Stavanger Engineering School became a natural education centre for offshore workers, both in terms of health and safety, and of petroleum technology. Stavanger Technical College: Technical education in Stavanger has its background in an elementary technical school which was founded in 1913. The town received its first technical college in 1937, and in 1950 Stavanger was the first town in the country to have a 2 year, theoretical, technical-college course. In 1963 these 3 schools merged under the collective title of ‘Stavanger Technical College’ and moved to a new location in Rogalandsgata 44. The technical college had changed to an engineering university, the technical school was enhanced and the elementary technical school was dissolved. In 1979 the college was divided into Stavanger Technical College and Stavanger Engineering College, and the latter gradually moved to the university at Ullandhaug (UiS). In regards to business education over the last 10 years, the college has focused on commercial material research within mechanical testing/workshop-technical measuring, concrete testing/geotechnics, sound/noise testing, and thermography. Technical College - A big step towards a great job Vocational training education is practice-based and is a stepping-stone to higher education. It is often a good alternative to higher or university education. We combine the theory and the practice with experience and practical insight which our students have already obtained in business life. The courses are planned with an emphasis on teamwork, interdisciplinary project work and close contact with the relevant industries. If you complete the technical college course with us, the door to a wide variety of job possibilities will be opened to you, or you can choose to go on to take further education at university. Either technical and management assignments or a combination of the two can be stipulated requirements (qualifications) when you are a fully qualified technician. Some of your possible job titles could be: • Technician or opertional manager • Service – and maintenance technician • Salesperson of sophisticated technical equipment • Marketer of sophisticated technical equipment • Product designer • Project supervisor Specialising in petroleum technology can lead to work in drilling. Despite being a technician, you could be asked to take responsibility for non-technical assignments such as: administration, work management, personnel administration, information, marketing, instruction, etc. This could be the case within smaller businesses where specialists in these areas are not employed, and where a technician can take responsibility for several different roles within the company. A few of the technical assignments we offer are: Planning, Project planning Construction Servicing Maintenance Operation Development Research Tempted?

  • Jærmuseet Nærbø - Norge 2009 Jærmuseet Nærbø - Norge
    Jærmuseet Nærbø - Norge 2009 Jærmuseet Nærbø - Norge Jærmuseet is a regional museum located near the city of Stavanger, for the municipalities of Randaberg, Sola, Sandnes, Klepp, Time and Hå in the county of Rogaland, southwest of Norway. In addition, it is also the regional science center for the Rogaland and Agder counties. Jærmuseet is both a museum and a science center. This interaction is seen as innovative, both in terms of museum exhibitions and in relation to traditional science centers. The Museum is an academic institution that documents the region’s history through collection, conservation, research and teaching. We aim to promote interest for knowledge, education and research in our region and in particular encourage children and young people’s interest in technology and science. Jærmuseet is a meeting place between nature, culture and technology. The Museum has eight different sites open to the public throughout the year, as well as an outreach program called Science Circus. The sites are a mixture of small museum sites and the two main departments of our science center: the Science Farm and the Science Factory. The two departments reflect the two most important industries in our region over the last 150 years: agriculture and industrial production. Historically, there are close interactions between these industries; many of the early regional factories started making tools and implements for the mechanization of the expanding agriculture. The Science Farm is located outside a small community (Nærbø) in the middle of one of the most productive agricultural areas in Norway. It is specially devoted to the “green” sciences and provides experiences and information about the cultural landscape, development of tools, agriculture and food production through the ages, with main emphasis on the modern day region.
