Overview of Experience
Please give an overview of the insight and what was involved on a day-to-day basis.
We attended talks and took part in discussions with bp employees from business, engineering and people & culture sectors of the business. We had opportunities to ask questions and meet other students with shared passion in the energy industry.
What was it like understanding all about the business and potential roles available?
It was insightful for me to gain an insight into the different roles within their finance business, especially procurement finance wherein I took part in a shadowing scheme. I also learned a lot about roles in engineering, project management and trading from further talks.
