It's impossible to know everything about energy

The oil and gas industry is enormous. There's upstream, midstream, downstream, petrochemicals, distribution, and retail.

It's impossible to have experience in every area. We all have gaps we need to fill to prepare us for our next row. But that's OK, not every skill gap has to be filled.

The most important thing is to identify the gaps that have the most return on investment in order to gain the expertise needed for the ideal role for growing opportunities.

That's what this course does. It helps you identify and then prioritize the areas you need to work on in order to move your career forward.

Discover the gaps with the most return on your time investment to gain the expertise needed for your ideal role.

This course uses an engineering, data-driven method to set your direction. It's designed specifically for oil and gas professionals in engineering, IT, accounting, supply chain and regulatory roles.
