Oil Search is visiting universities in the country to share information and introduce its graduate programme to potential graduates. The Company has so far visited two universities in the nation’s capital – Pacific Adventist University (PAU) and the University of Papua New Guinea (UPNG) to meet with final year students. It was an opportunity for the Company to disseminate vital information to the students on what the company does in the oil and gas industry, its contribution to the community through the Oil Search Foundation, the use of clean, renewable and sustainable energy through the PNG Biomass and most importantly how they can apply for the Graduate Development Program (GDP). Former graduates who joined the team at the respective expos shared their experiences going through Oil Search’s GDP and encouraged the students to apply and join Oil Search, one of the leading Papua New Guinea-owned company.
Oil Search Organisational Development representative, Leka Leka was overwhelmed by the number of students who visited the company’s information booth at PAU and UPNG and encouraged the students to plan out their careers and work towards it. “You must be fully responsible for your own career progression and challenge yourself. Don’t be afraid to ask questions and suggest ideas,” Leka said. Oil Search graduates drew a lot of interests from students and staff alike wanting to know more about the criteria to be eligible for the GDP and when applications will be open. Jennirae Sassah, a third year PAU student studying Biology and Environment Science visited Oil Search booth seeking information on the Company’s environment team. “I want to know more about what Oil Search Environment team does because I am interested to apply for the graduate programme and join the environment team,” Jennirae said. UPNG English Communications final year student Jemimah Nui was interested to know more about the role the company play during the February 26 Highlands earthquake. “I read a lot about the earthquake early this year and came across few articles about the company’s role in the relief efforts. The OSL graduates assisted me, gave me fact sheets and I am now well informed about the company’s efforts during the earthquake and how they’ve help the surrounding communities,” Jemimah said. Oil Search graduates inspires final year students at career fairs- 23 July 2018 2 Hearing first-hand experiences of former Oil Search graduates who were once students of the two universities was a bonus, as students mingled and discussed openly about their future plans. The annual career expos at the universities creates an opportunity for organisations to meet with potential graduates, and introduce their graduate programmes. The expos also provide opportunities for organisations to raise their profiles.
