Diversity and inclusion is the key to success at bp – and this paid programme (including travel and accommodation) is just one of the ways we're addressing our gender diversity balance.

 

Open to female undergraduates from any discipline, you'll spend time networking and hearing from female leaders. If you’re ambitious and looking to make your mark, join us to connect with industry experts and build a network that will help you achieve your goals.  

 

Throughout the week, you’ll engage in professional skills workshops, meet a diverse group of individuals from across our business, and gain insights into the global challenges we’re tackling.  You’ll also get a taste of bp’s culture, explore our wide range of roles and delve deeper into an area of your choice on a shadow day. Plus, you’ll participate in workshops designed to enhance your skills and hear firsthand from our graduates about their life at bp experiences. 

 

Best of all, participation gives you a fast-track to a technical interview for one of our internship opportunities the following year (eligibility criteria will apply).
