  • Brilliant day with a well planned structure, giving insight into a range of things including the upstream oil and gas industry and the individual experiences of recent graduates.

  • Lots of support. Though out the day staff were available to answer questions and listen to our requests which meant that all the questions in my mind we're answered. At the start the staff asked our group what we would like to gain which helped line up our expectations of the day and we received the support we wanted
