KIPP Career Day
We recently hosted a career day for 11th grade students from the program who had an opportunity to listen and interact with several presenters from various departments. We provided them with fun facts about the oil and gas industry and watched them build their very own pipeline. We believe partnerships like this one are essential for students to learn about the different types of career path opportunities in our industry and think about how they can plan for a successful future.
“I wanted to send a quick email of thanks to all of you! It was quite clear how important our students' experiences were to you, and to that point, they all felt and appreciated your intentionality. From the moment the students walked onto the steps of the office building, it was clear that they were in for a day of fun, learning, acceptance, and discovery. Please let everyone who participated know how grateful we are.”
