INCEPTI N

THE BEGINNING OF AN IDEA

Young Professionals of LAGCOE

The human capital shortage is recognized as one of, if not the most important, challenges facing the global oil and gas industry.

Cultivating young talent into future leaders will be instrumental for the industry to realize ongoing growth. The Young Professionals of

LAGCOE was an idea born out of addressing this need. Here, the YPL leadership team and OE discuss the responsibilities and opportunities their generation have in satisfying this requirement. OE recognizes and celebrates the YPL Committee as a great example of one idea leading to multiple ideas for the overall benefit of the industry.
