Bridging the Skills Gap in Angola's Mining & Oil Sector with Embedded Training

In the deep-water rigs of Cabinda and the diamond mines of Lunda Norte, the heartbeat of Angola’s economy is shifting from manual labor to high-tech digital precision—but is your workforce ready to keep the pulse?

The Talent Gap in Angola’s Industrial Engine

Olá to the leaders of Angola’s most vital sectors. As we move through 2026, the National Digital Transformation Strategy (SNTN-2030) is no longer just a document; it is a reality. In the Mining and Oil & Gas sectors, we are seeing a massive "Technology Adoption" surge. Companies are moving from legacy systems to SAP S/4HANA Cloud to manage complex supply chains and production.

But here is the problem: Angola is facing a critical skills gap. We have world-class resources under the ground, but a shortage of "Digital Sovereignty" in our offices. Training a petroleum engineer or a mine supervisor on a new ERP system usually takes months of classroom time—time that our production schedules simply don't have.

The solution? Embedded Training via SAP Enable Now and WalkMe.

SAP Enable Now & WalkMe: The Digital Co-pilots

In the rugged environments of the extractive industry, we need training that is as "on-demand" as a backup generator.

SAP Enable Now

This tool acts as a "Digital Shadow." If a geologist wants to log a brand-new survey while using the SAP program in their office in Luanda, Enable Now guides the user through a "Guided Tour" that explains to the geologist exactly where to click, literally. No guidebooks needed—nowhere to learn except by actually learning while doing the work.

WalkMe

This is the "Digital Adoption" part of the technology, driven by our artificial intelligence technology. It recognizes when the user is hovering too long or making an incorrect input in a complicated tax input process. A friendly "tip" pops up to guide the way. It is as if we’re providing an expert to assist each of our employees on the rig to get their work done correctly the first time through that complicated process.

Navigating Angola’s 2026 Tax Landscape

One of the largest challenges facing our extractive industry is our tax system. It is becoming more transparent and digital in its focus. For the year 2026, SAP Enable Now is critical in enabling teams to effectively grasp the aforementioned particular regulations with regard to the following aspects:

Tax Category

Rate / Rule (2026)

Standard VAT

14% (Mostly Standard rate applicable to all Goods and Services)

Reduced VAT

5% - Imported Industrial Equipment (Relief given by the Ministry of Finance as proposed in the 2026 budget plans)

Corporate Income Tax

25% - Standard rate, with the option rising to 35% for particular businesses in the Oil/Mining industry

Withholding Tax (WHT)

6.5% - Services

10% - Dividends and royalties

Foreign Exchange Contribution

10% - Business cross border service costs

Imagine that with the aid of SAP Enable Now, you can immediately have each and every invoice presented in Luanda with 100% compliance with the Administração Geral Tributária (AGT).

Work Culture & Office Practices in Luanda

"The Angolan work culture is based on a culture of respect and hierarchy; community-based behavior underlies all social and business associations."

In order to successfully bridge this "Skills Gap," as it exists today in Angola and as it will continue to grow in other developing nations around the world—technology will have to respect and honor these "Office Practices" of an Angolan Oil Driller:

• The 44-Hour Work Week: Our employees are working a full schedule now that encompasses an 8-hour day Monday through Friday anyway. Training each learner eliminates any afterhours commitment away from their families.
• Linguistic Pride: As linguistic pride is as tied to their hearts as it is to their law books—100% of all content can be localized using SAP Enable Now.
• Hierarchy & Trust: In an Angolan office setting—employees seem to only wish to learn from their "Trusted Sources." WalkMe eliminates this grapevine effect that leads to process information being passed around an office based on rumors and misconceptions.

Technology Adoption by Industry

Oil & Gas

Shifting toward "Digital Twins" and an AI-driven drilling process. SAP S/4HANA is the backbone for managing these high-cost assets.

 Mining

Transitioning to "Smart Mines" where IoT data flows directly into SAP. This requires operators to be more than just drivers; they must be data-literate.
