Opportunities

PWSO is an origin of human resources:

Oil & Gas companies and young specialists find PWSO to be a highly appealing and valuable resource. By participating in PWSO, students will have an opportunity to demonstrate their skills across a wide range of disciplines. Companies can use this tool to find out if their team can tackle new challenges. As a result, this tool is particularly beneficial for young professionals who want to demonstrate their potential and stand out to industry companies

PetroCup is beneficial for oil and gas companies and can be used as:

  • a testing tool and a way to identify student talents with the good set of knowledge and competencies
