The oil and gas sector has its doors open to listen to young professionals, thus fostering an increasingly innovative, diverse, transparent and sustainable industry. It is in this context that the Brazilian Institute of Oil and Gas (IBP) holds the Young Summit, an initiative of Rio Oil & Gas entirely aimed at students and young professionals, from November 30th to December 2nd, online and free of charge.

"We want to show that the oil and gas sector is also innovative and seeks to modernize its management of technological innovation. This sector is now essential to meet society's aspirations for a fair and safe energy transition, and for that, disruptive solutions will be very welcome", analyzes Cristina Pinho, corporate executive director of the IBP.

"We always need to renew our chain with a greater diversity of ideas and innovations. Therefore, we welcome professors and educational institutions who wish to share their knowledge and companies interested in attracting and retaining talent that will contribute to innovative processes in the transition to an energy matrix low carbon," she adds.

Discussions

The Young Summit will feature 12 content sessions divided into four pillars. The Career pillar will address trends towards professionalization and training, making the young protagonist of their own trajectory and showing them that, in industry, there is a place for careers beyond engineering, such as library science, medicine, psychology, economics, communication, law , just to name a few examples.

Diversity & Inclusion, on the other hand, will debate initiatives by the industry involving labor relations with equality of gender, race and ethnicity, accessibility, people with disabilities and the LGBTQIA+ group.

The Entrepreneurship and Digital Transformation panel will present the possibility of looking at new challenges with more creativity, agility, clarity and connection with the purposes of a generation.

Sustainability invites young people to participate in the debate on the risks and role of the oil and gas sector in sustainable consumption. The changes that the O&G industry is going through in a world of carbon neutrality will also be discussed.
