Oil opportunities

A mobile exhibition aiming to inform high calibre graduates of the opportunities within the oil and gas industry will be at the University of Dundee on Monday and Tuesday, February 24 and 25.

A group of major companies from the oil and gas sector joined forces to raise awareness of the industry's activities and the diverse range of careers available to young people. Representatives have been travelling around the country in the "Opportunities" trailer and have been invited to Dundee by the University's Careers Service.

The "Opportunities" trailer is staffed by graduates who currently work within the sector and who will be able to share their experiences with students. The trailer contains an illustrated description of the hydrocarbon production process, along with the possible careers at each stage.

The trailer will be parked in Balfour Street, outside the University Students Association and open between 10am and 4pm on both days.
