Schoolkids urged to consider oil and gas careers

Published 2nd Jun 2015

All this week Aberdeen's young people are being encouraged to consider a career in the oil industry.

Oil and Gas Skills organisation OPITO are providing a work experience for 16-18 year olds from schools across the region.

Butit comes at a time when thousands of people working in the industry are being made redundant.

OPITO say the sector will need fresh talent when the price of oil bounces back, and the North Sea starts to recover.
