About the Petroleum Human Resources Council

About the Petroleum Human Resources Council

The Petroleum Human Resources Council of Canada (Petroleum HR Council) is a national, not-for-profit, collaborative forum that addresses human resources issues within the petroleum industry.

The Petroleum HR Council is a project-based sector council supported by eleven oil and gas national and regional industry organizations, including one union, and represents the key sectors of the petroleum industry in Canada: exploration, development, production, service industries, pipeline transmission, gas processing and mining, extracting and upgrading heavy oil and bitumen.

The Petroleum HR Council was established through the Sectoral Partnerships Initiative of Human Resources and Skills Development Canada. Sector Councils are permanent organizations made up of many stakeholders of a particular industry, including individuals, company owners, corporate leaders, employees, government, educators, and industry associations. Human Resources and Skills Development Canada partners with, and facilitates communication among, key industry stakeholders so they may strategically address issues and concerns within the industry. The Petroleum HR Council is funded by the Government of Canada.
