A vibrant local economy is a fundamental building block of strong communities. GTE continues to build its supply chain by prioritizing local goods and services and provides technical and administrative training workshops through its Key Partners program. As a result, this allows more local suppliers to participate in GTE’s projects. Read more about our Key Partners’ experiences below.
“When we first started, the idea of working for GTE was unthinkable. But the Company helped us grow, the doors kept opening, and we’ve had to step up to match the opportunities. It’s been one of the most wonderful things to happen to us.”
“There haven’t been any major companies in this part of Ecuador for 40 years, and working with GTE has changed life for me and my colleagues. We’re grateful for the opportunities they’ve created because there are lots of young people without work here.”
“The support GTE has provided to local businesses, including its Key Partners program, has given us an opportunity to find success as entrepreneurs.”
“Since my family started our business in 1995 as a simple transportation company, we’ve grown into other sectors, including oil transportation. Gran Tierra’s clear communications, guidance and training has helped us easily integrate with the Company, and their support has helped us improve our own processes.”
“We were a really small company when I came aboard to manage it eleven years ago. Working in the hydrocarbon industry has helped us grow and learn, and GTE’s Key Partners program is excellent in this regard. We’ve had to work hard to meet GTE’s high standards for safety and integrity.”
“As a client, GTE has been a key partner of mine. They helped us in developing new skills, provided training to our employees and connected us with new clients. The diploma courses have been an in-depth source of knowledge on a number of topics that have helped my business. Thanks to the training that Key Partners has provided us, we have grown personally, offered better services and qualified for new projects.”
