About You
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. The day involved various interactive sessions which really helped bring the industry to life and provided more than just the opportunity to speak to others, but experience training ourselves
I felt extremely valued, with all staff being welcoming and friendly throughout the visit- were definitely valued as a guest. Lunch was provided and refreshments were easily accessible throughout the day with the primary focus of the day being how we could develop from this insight
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
A detailed insight of the upstream portion of the oil and gas industry which is something I now look forward to learning more about in the future. This will help me decide where I can best fit in beyond my time at university.
The Company
Very well structured with plenty of time to relax and get to know the other attendees.
Very much enjoyed my day at BP Sunbury, would definitely recommend to anyone looking to apply. The staff were friendly and approachable and the day itself was extremely insightful, providing a great learning opportunity
Whilst providing support with interview preparation and applications, the insight day itself provided the opportunity to learn about the industry and what skills are needed for success. Being a one day programme, there was little opportunity to actually develop the skills
The day involved a networking lunch which definitely helped with understanding what different roles within the industry would involve. I appreciated hearing the journey of interns and graduates especially
All members of staff spoke about their experiences with BP in a positive but honest light which provided a great understanding into the culture and personal experiences of day to day life at BP
Very much enjoyed the day and it will contribute towards my decision in the future to apply for a role with BP as it has definitely widened my horizons in the roles I could work within BP
Everything Else
All travel up to £100 is reimbursed. If the journey is greater than 3h, BP will reimburse a hotel
The networking opportunity was during lunch in a casual, but informative setting. Interns graduates and other senior staff were present
The opportunity was a good chance to learn about the industry and the various roles within it
Yes, being in bed with planning the summer ball, after work activities etc were all discussed with the staff providing a good insight into the work life balance of BP
100% - a well structured day with plenty opportunity to meet like minded individuals and learn about the exciting advancements in the oil and gas industry
