00:00:01.400 --> 00:00:03.111
(children chattering)

2
00:00:03.111 --> 00:00:04.290
(upbeat percussive music)

3
00:00:04.290 --> 00:00:05.900
<v Narrator>Someone once said,</v>

4
00:00:05.900 --> 00:00:08.530
men may vary from place to place,

5
00:00:08.530 --> 00:00:11.300
but children are the same everywhere.

6
00:00:11.300 --> 00:00:14.250
Happy, carefree, confident in the present

7
00:00:14.250 --> 00:00:16.203
and hopeful of the future.

8
00:00:19.060 --> 00:00:20.640
And down here in the Caribbean,

9
00:00:20.640 --> 00:00:23.070
on the lovely, lively isle of Trinidad,

10
00:00:23.070 --> 00:00:24.940
they have every reason to be.

11
00:00:24.940 --> 00:00:27.240
For the present and future of these children

12
00:00:27.240 --> 00:00:29.451
are as secure as the vast oil reserves

13
00:00:29.451 --> 00:00:32.250
that lie beneath their scampering feet.

14
00:00:32.250 --> 00:00:35.110
Oil, which will mean good jobs for many of them,

15
00:00:35.110 --> 00:00:36.710
professions for others,

16
00:00:36.710 --> 00:00:38.570
and continued independence, stability,

17
00:00:38.570 --> 00:00:41.053
and growth for the entire island.

18
00:00:44.350 --> 00:00:45.840
To help the children of Trinidad

19
00:00:45.840 --> 00:00:48.150
realize this great potential of theirs,

20
00:00:48.150 --> 00:00:51.250
Texaco provides both educational opportunities

21
00:00:51.250 --> 00:00:52.900
and tactical training facilities.

22
00:00:54.822 --> 00:00:57.572
(tools clanking)

23
00:00:58.480 --> 00:01:00.600
Those who show the desire and aptitude

24
00:01:00.600 --> 00:01:02.150
can start as apprentices

25
00:01:02.150 --> 00:01:05.440
in as many as 27 different occupations.

26
00:01:05.440 --> 00:01:08.041
Those students who show above average aptitudes

27
00:01:08.041 --> 00:01:11.503
are given the opportunity for special supervisory positions.

28
00:01:14.080 --> 00:01:17.070
And gifted students are awarded Texaco scholarships

29
00:01:17.070 --> 00:01:20.770
to universities in the United Kingdom and Jamaica.

30
00:01:20.770 --> 00:01:23.240
After their training and schooling are completed,

31
00:01:23.240 --> 00:01:24.670
these young men have the choice

32
00:01:24.670 --> 00:01:26.830
of staying with Texaco Trinidad,

33
00:01:26.830 --> 00:01:30.030
or following any other vocation they wish.

34
00:01:30.030 --> 00:01:32.170
Many stay, and some rise

35
00:01:32.170 --> 00:01:34.493
to important positions within the company.

36
00:01:36.070 --> 00:01:37.470
But the drilling, producing,

37
00:01:37.470 --> 00:01:40.040
refining and marketing of petroleum products

38
00:01:40.040 --> 00:01:43.290
require highly skilled men at all levels.

39
00:01:43.290 --> 00:01:45.410
That is why Texaco Trinidad is happy

40
00:01:45.410 --> 00:01:47.850
to have found so many able and willing men

41
00:01:47.850 --> 00:01:50.610
on this tiny island, and proud to work

42
00:01:50.610 --> 00:01:52.810
hand in hand with them in building

43
00:01:52.810 --> 00:01:54.983
an even brighter, sounder future.

44
00:01:56.320 --> 00:02:01.292
Texaco, symbol of worldwide progress through petroleum.

45
00:02:01.292 --> 00:02:05.209
(dramatic inspirational music)
