Abstract
Human resource development or HRD is a system that can train and educate people toward any specific reference-based criterion, such as energy or its infrastructure. The field has many noted experts and follows a path of either instructional system design for short-term learning fixes or a competency-development based path to prepare people for a total job competency with all attendant skills. Thus, the mechanisms clearly do exist to fully engage citizens in the resources that lay in their countries. Anyone with a baseline educational ability or so-called basic workplace skills can be trained to engage in their nation’s strategic industry. If the technical development can then be easily administered to a motivated population, the real issue with learning engagement, and why it's not happening, becomes a political one.
