"I just wanted to thank you, the organisers and the mentors for what was a very interesting evening. I had a great setting to speak about potential jobs on completion of my degree whilst sharing our passion for what is a very interesting industry. Thanks again and I look forward to the next event." - Andrew Tillie, BA (hons.) Student RGU |
"Ross, I would like to congratulate you on an excellent evening at the AYP event last night. It was (as expected) highly professional and extremely well attended with an exceptionally high calibre of people on the panel (including your good self) in the room. Please thank the rest of the team for delivering such a great event. I look forward to attending the next one and will let my friends, colleagues and business contacts know the benefit they'll receive from attending" - Geoff Woodger, Stork |
"The Energy Minster provided us with a great insight into his priorities for encouraging more apprenticeship schemes and the event promoted insightful discussions on how to address the skills gap, particularly on how to make Aberdeen a more attractive prospect for young professionals" - Jess Parker, Centrica |
"Great opportunity for young professionals at the start of their careers to network with and interrogate industry professionals and really understand what is going on with recruitment in the energy sector to allow them to build and develop their long term career. A really worthwhile event!!" - Will Ritchie, Careers at RGU |
"Fantastic evening, the AYP discussion event has enabled me to meet new people and get a fresh insight into the oil and gas industry and the challenges it faces. The event is informal and friendly allowing people to ask questions to the experts that they may not usually get the opportunity for. I look forward to attending future events" - Amanda Inglis, Activity Mix |
"AYP pulled together a great event, with an innovative approach and fresh take on the (tired) topic of Skills Shortage. There were some good challenges on what actually constitutes the skills shortage in oil and gas, but also a keen focus on how we can collaborate as a business to ensure we don't create similar problems for our successors twenty years from now. Well done AYP on pulling together and keeping the buzz" - David Priestley, TAQA |
