Resources for Career Practitioners
The Petroleum HR Council of Canada (the Council) has developed a
number of presentations and information materials to assist
educators, teachers, career/employment counsellors and parents with
valuable oil and gas career information.
United Way Career Presentations
The United Way is funding the Bridging Information Gaps between
the Petroleum Industry and Immigrant Labour Supply project, which
supports the attraction and development of immigrants in the
petroleum workforce by delivering labour market and
immigrant-specific information to immigrant-serving agencies in
Calgary.

Rich with Potential: Practitioner's Guide
As part of the Career Awareness program, the Council created the
Rich with Potential: Practitioner's Guide package for key
influencers such as career practitioners, counsellors and teachers.
This package includes an overview of Canada's oil and gas industry,
as well as information on the careers available by job family and a
set of references and tools to help key influencers when working
with clients.

Occupational Profiles
The Council developed 36 occupational profiles that detail
everything you need to know about work, education and career paths
for a specific occupation in oil and gas.

Occupational Summaries
The Council has also created occupational summaries that provide
a quick snapshot on work conditions, education, skills and minimum
qualifications for a variety of careers in the oil and gas
industry.

Careers in Oil and Gas Website
Developed for Canadian audiences, the Council's Careers in Oil
and Gas website provides a wealth of information on career options
and the world of work within the Canadian petroleum industry.
