Students recently had the opportunity to visit ConocoPhillips for an engaging and educational field trip that provided real‑world insight into careers within the energy sector. The experience began with a leadership Q&A, where students learned about decision‑making, teamwork, and the importance of adaptability in a competitive industry. Students then toured the ConocoPhillips campus and explored the Emergent Technologies Lab, gaining exposure to innovative tools and technologies shaping the future of oil and gas.
A highlight of the visit was a candid Q&A session with recent hires, where students asked thoughtful questions about the wide range of careers available in the industry, the education and skills needed to become competitive applicants, and the steps required to secure employment. Students also received valuable guidance on professionalism, workplace expectations, and building strong career pathways.
This field trip offered meaningful exposure, inspired curiosity, and helped students better understand how classroom learning connects to future opportunities.
