Abstract
A major Russian oil company is currently carrying through an ambitious program aimed at transforming corporate E&P business model. The new model involving product-based approach to exploration and production will require young professionals with new skills and mindsets beyond regular university curricula. To proactively satisfy this demand, the company joined forces with one of its partner universities to champion Engineers of the Future, a training initiative aimed at senior students about to graduate and join the company.
Engineers of the Future offer a fresh perspective and approach to training young professionals, mixing conventional training with problem-based and game-based learning to deliver a unique combination of hard and soft skills required by company's new operating paradigm. Program graduates are expected to make a great addition to corporate product teams, enabling the company to achieve its challenging strategic goals.
