OPITO – The Oil and Gas Academy aims to “unveil a radical change” to the closing day of Offshore Europe when it stages its flagship interactive oil and gas lifestyle and careers event in Aberdeen on September 11.
The Portlethen-based training hub’s 2009 Energise Your Future (EYF) event will give oil and gas firms direct access to young people studying the key science, technology, engineering and maths subjects needed to fill industry skills gaps in the future.
Companies including BP, Shell, ExxonMobil, Schlumberger, Total, Balmoral, Technip and Maersk Oil are among heavyweights lined up for this autumn’s EYF.
Academy chief executive David Doig said it would mark a “significant departure” from tradition at Offshore Europe.
