• Recruit right first time?
• Barriers to entry into Oil and Gas too high?
• Do all companies train and develop their staff?
• The impact of contracting market?
• Attraction Strategies?
• Do people understand our industry?

• Attracts highly competent experienced people (vs. Apprentices / Graduates)
• High retention/loyalty
• Demand is greater than supply for the programme
• Tapping into other industries for talent to create future subsea engineers
• Cost effective – Conversion vs. Graduates
