Technical Training & Development
ABGPA Midstream is continually offering technical & operations training to encourage skills development, networking, and professional growth. The ABGPA training committee is focused on strategic partnerships with established training companies, facilities and oil & gas professionals that are considered experts in their field. Those partnerships allow the committee to provide in-person, on-site and virtual training that help our members improve performance at all levels of the oil & gas value chain.
Each training session regardless of format, focuses on unique topics that will enable members to develop or expand on skills that: improve job performance and/or operations, enhance effectiveness, achieve compliance goals, mitigate risk, or overcome new or existing midstream challenges.

Career Opportunities
ABGPA Midstream is committed not only to supporting a member’s technical development but also their professional development. There are numerous career opportunities in the Midstream Industry all throughout the Appalachian Area. Relationships developed through ABGPA Midstream events, our Annual Appalachian Regional Conference (ARC), Technical Trainings, and Scholarship activities/fundraisers will enhance the possibility of employment in the midstream industry. Additionally, those already working in this industry can use the association to further their careers.
The ABGPA Midstream website does not currently post open positions for our members, however, you are welcome to visit the public ABGPA Linkedin Page and view/post jobs that are industry appropriate.
Professional Development
Although professional networking opportunities are one of the core benefits of membership, we realize especially in challenging times such as these, networking alone is not always enough. To address that reality, GPA Midstream Chapters have partnered with numerous training consultants, one of which is career consulting experts Iridium Recruiting. Iridium believes “Career paths often have twists, turns, and speed bumps that can be difficult to navigate in your search for a new job. Experience is only as valuable as your ability to explain it, networking is only useful if you know how best to do it, interviewing is really about having meaningful conversations. At the end of the day, everything in hiring and job hunting comes down to one thing, communication”, and ABGPA Midstream agrees. The focus on career and resume development through partnerships with experts like Iridium are driven by a single goal: “Help our members put their best foot forward”.
So whether your goal is starting, advancing, or transitioning your midstream career, ABGPA Midstream is here to help! Want to learn more?
