They tie up boats, ride a personnel basket, prepare metal surfaces for painting, paint those surfaces, wash down decks, tie common oilfield knots and many other tasks associated with new hire duties in an offshore environment. Students that complete the program have shown their commitment to gaining offshore employment, have learned and developed safety attitudes and have performed many of the duties of the offshore worker, making the graduate an attractive employment candidate. Mr. Charlie was the first of its kind. It was born before the current offshore rigs and thanks to the past and future support of individuals and industry, Mr. Charlie will be working in its current capacity long after the many current rigs are long gone.
