SBM Offshore conducts career outreach engagement at Corentyne Comprehensive High School

SBM Offshore has recently engaged fourth and fifth-form students of the Corentyne Comprehensive High School, to apprise them of the company’s role in Guyana and the career choices that are available in the oil and gas industry. This is the first career outreach engagement of many the company plans to conduct in schools in Guyana.
In an interactive session with the students, Human Resources Business Partner Shaun Prince highlighted the role the company plays as an energy transition company in the oil and gas industry, and
introduced students to the concepts of floating, production, storage and offloading (FPSO) vessels; the various functions of those vessels; and the company’s vision and transformational strategy.
In addition, he encouraged female students in particular to get engaged in the field of oil and gas as he expounded on the various roles available for female engineers and technicians, and in administrative and leadership capacities.

In his presentation, Talent Acquisition Specialist Danny Seegobin, who is responsible for recruiting Guyanese nationals, used the opportunity to apprise students of the various career opportunities available within the industry, which include those positions available both onshore and offshore. He also spoke of key competencies the company considers during the recruitment process, and gave a synopsis of the company’s Graduate Engineers’ and Trainee Technician programmes, which are geared towards enhancing the skills of young Guyanese to play key roles in the country’s oil and gas sector.
During the outreach, SBM Offshore honoured the top performers of Grades 7, 8, 9 and 10 for the 2021 academic school year with a trophy to congratulate them on their excellent performances.
