Who We Are
For over 75 years PETEX has been the original and premier provider of oil and gas training, starting in Texas and growing to provide training around the world. PETEX has been at the forefront of global learning solutions powering the energy industry. Through our industry connections, built over decades, we’ve gained unparalleled access to current expertise, as well as insight into the ever-changing needs and challenges that our clients face.
At PETEX, our ultimate goal is to give every learner the knowledge that the industry requires to efficiently, effectively, and safely do their job. Although PETEX receives valuable support from The University of Texas at Austin, its operational funding is derived solely from fees for course enrollments, product sales, and industry support.
What We’re Fundraising For
We understand the challenges many educational institutions across the nation face due to the COVID-19 pandemic. In an effort to help mitigate these challenges and reinforce our support to students in Texas and nationwide during this time, The University of Texas at Austin’s Petroleum Extension made all e-learning (e-courses, modules, certificate programs, videos and e-books) available online at no charge to all public high schools and community colleges in 2020.
In our 75+ years as a leader in education, training programs, and resources for the oil and gas industry, PETEX has experienced — and are accustomed to ongoing — changing market conditions and workforce demands. As part of The University of Texas at Austin and the Cockrell School of Engineering, our number one priority is supplying our learners and education providers with top-tier educational resources, while administering lifelong education support to learners in all phases of their lives. We understand and appreciate that not all educational journeys look the same, and we pride ourselves on being able to provide various options to help learners achieve success.
Your Impact
Although PETEX receives valuable support from The University of Texas at Austin, its operational funding is derived solely from fees for course enrollments, product sales, and industry support. Your gift will help offset the critical fiscal impact on PETEX of the COVID-19 pandemic and ensure we can continue to serve professional development in the energy sector.
