educational highlights
Canada
ExxonMobil Canada awarded the Nova Scotia Community College a $1.4 million contract to develop a platform operations training program. Instruction features the use of several advanced computer programs, including software that simulates a virtual compression deck. A platform process simulator will enable students interested in the oil and gas industry to practice system operations.
Kazakhstan
Collaborating with the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID) and the Kazakhstan Loan Fund, ExxonMobil has established an Enterprise Development Center in Astana. The center, co-housed with a microfinance organization, provides potential female entrepreneurs with strategic counseling services and training in the areas of financial, marketing and human resource management.
Equatorial Guinea
ExxonMobil funded a UNICEF grant to improve water and environmental sanitation in schools in Equatorial Guinea. This project has constructed latrines and water wells in pre-schools and primary schools in four districts with the objective of increasing the retention rates of students by improving the quality of education and providing healthy and secure school environments.
United States
In 1974, ExxonMobil helped to establish the National Action Council for Minorities in Engineering (NACME), the largest private source provider of scholarships to minority engineering students in the U.S. Through our contributions (more than $10 million), NACME is realizing its goal of increasing the number of minorities with engineering degrees. Since its inception, the number of minority students obtaining B.S. engineering degrees annually in the U.S. has increased from fewer than 1,500 to more than 7,000.
ExxonMobil is an exciting and dynamic place to work. We hire exceptional people and encourage them to think independently, take initiative and be innovative.
We’re about people — all kinds of people — and the power of inclusiveness. We cover the globe in search of talented men and women from diverse backgrounds in order to build a workforce that is as diverse as our customer base.
Universities are our primary source for potential management, professional and technical employees. ExxonMobil has long-term relationships with hundreds of outstanding colleges and universities throughout the world.
Scholarships, Grants and Internships
ExxonMobil’s financial aid initiatives and internships play a key role in effective diversity recruiting. Through practical work experience, scholarships and university grants, ExxonMobil strives to identify the best and brightest students in the technical, engineering, science and business fields. In several countries, we link our involvement in education and technology to internships that have the potential to lead to full-time employment. ExxonMobil typically sponsors about 750 summer internships and co-op jobs throughout the world each year. We see this initiative as central to our company’s health and future.
