Young Professionals Workshop
Sunday, 17 October • 0900-1500 hours • Plaza P1
“Pushing the Boundaries: Energy Careers at the Frontier”
As many Young Professionals are being placed with a higher level of responsibility in the industry, a greater emphasis is being put on young employees to step into challenging technical and managerial roles. Equally important, the Young Professionals have the responsibility to be proactively involved with the leadership development process and to be creative and innovative in order to meet the challenges. To help address these issues, the Young Professionals Workshop is designed for graduates and young professionals in the oil and gas industry under the age of 35 years or with less than 10 years industry experience in any technical discipline. Industry executives and young professionals will have the opportunity to engage in discussions about the future directions for young professionals in the oil and gas industry.
