The energy transition is changing the way the oil and gas sector needs to look at cultivating its future workforce and, in particular, leaders.
However, even with the transition, any major energy company will need the “traditional workforce” that has made it into what it is today, according to Stephen Arbogast, professor of the practice of finance and director of the Kenan-Flagler Energy Center at the University of North Carolina (UNC) at Chapel Hill.
Still, the energy transition is real, Arbogast said, and it’s going to happen. Therefore, a portion of the future energy workforce will need to be able to help oil and gas companies navigate that transition.
In this first part of a three-part series, Arbogast talks about the value of messaging to the next generation of students who will one day become the leaders of the oil and gas industry.
