OWN YOUR OIL INDUSTRY AS A FRESH GRADUATE OR STUDENT

In this changing economy, companies employ very few graduates with 2-1, Frist Class, below age 27. These companies have shutdown most of the their skilled departments like painting, carpentry, welding, fitting, catering, integrity testing etc. These jobs are now given out on contract to indigenous contractor, mostly from the host communities. These contractors do not have the capacity to keep permanent staff. They hire casual staff whenever their services are required by these multinationals. As a student or fresh graduate, in addition to the so-called employable skills, you need to acquire enterprising skills. If you can coordinate these services using your educational background, you can aspire to be the firm getting these contracts and harnessing human and material resources for execution.
