SYKESVILLE, MD – March 1, 2013 – GSE Systems, Inc. (NYSE MKT: GVP) has published a new white paper titled “The Case for Simulation-Based Training in the Oil and Gas Industry, Upstream and Downstream”. The document examines the need for efficient and effective workforce development in the oil and gas industry worldwide to combat the acute shortage of skilled workers both upstream and downstream.

“Statistics show that U.S. universities are producing only about 20 percent of the engineering graduates they did 20 years ago,” said Jim Eberle, Chief Executive Officer of GSE Systems. “Thus, the petroleum industry needs to train its recruits better and faster on systems that are more complex than ever before. They also need to make sure that they retain those recruits over the long term. New innovations in simulation-based training will allow industry trainers to accomplish these goals in less time with lower costs.”

The white paper examines the causes and characteristics of the skills gap in the oil and gas industry, including size and scope. It also provides an overview of the market for simulation-based training, including learning approaches, assessments of effectiveness, and operating and financial benefits to companies.

Readers will learn why simulation-based training, prefaced with traditional classroom training methods on process fundamentals, is the most efficient and cost effective way to educate new employees and prepare them for their work in a refinery or on an exploration and production (E&P) platform.

The white paper is free as a direct download at www.gses.com/downloads.
