Why jobs exist…

… “relatively few oil and gas extraction workers are in their teens or early 20’s. Over 65% of the workers in this industry are between 35 to 54 years of age. On average 40% of the industry’s workforce is expected to reach retirement during this decade.”

Diversity

Employers will need to develop … “practices to attract and train applicants from non-traditional employment groups (women, urban youth, immigrants and Aboriginal people) to address thesupply issue.”The Petroleum Human Resources Council of Canadawww.petrohrsc.ca

Newfoundland and Labrador

Local stakeholders view diversity as an important piece of the puzzle. Husky Energy leads by example and has filed a diversityplan for the White Rose project.

Why do employers find these jobs hard to fill?

Lack of experience in the oil industry

Occupational shortages exist world-wide for some positions e.g. experienced engineers; navigation/marine engineering officers

Some opportunities are short-term/project employment

Some specialized positions only exist in small numbers

Some specific training programs are not readily available


Bigger Picture - challenges findingexperienced employees…

East Coast

Small industry – few projects compared to North Sea

Lack of “offshore” experience

North Atlantic working environment

Worker’s mobility concerns

family considerations high tax rates competitiveness of compensation remoteness

How companies recruit people…


Schools do a good job…

Local, post secondary institutions are preparing graduates well for entry level positions

Train youth from traditional and non-traditional employment groups

Schools recognize that enhanced technology has increased entry level qualifications required for some offshore positions

Drilling and Well Services – smart well technology required in remote/harsh environments

Schools form partnerships with industry

Promote career opportunities Provide student employment assistance Recruit faculty with diverse experience Secure targeted research funds Expose students to leading edge technology Secure grants to provide top notch facilities Create new programs e.g., Master’s in Oil/Gas Studies


Industry cooperates with schools …

Reviews curriculum to ensure it meets industry needs Shares leading edge technology and services Makes donations

Halliburton’s Landmark Graphics division $18.4 million grant to MUN

Grants scholarships Supports diversity programs Provides work-term placements Hires students from traditional and non-traditional

employment groups
