The company is poised to leverage Nilsen’s fresh perspective to accelerate its global expansion and reinforce its leadership in workforce training and safety.
As 3t prepares for this new chapter, the focus will remain on maintaining its reputation for delivering high-impact training solutions while navigating the complexities of international markets. The leadership change signals a proactive approach to adapting to the evolving landscape of the energy sector and beyond, ensuring that 3t remains at the forefront of industry innovation and excellence.
