    About You

  • 1. To what extent did you enjoy the insight?
  • The BP discovery day was an excellent introduction to the company. It allowed to you to network with current staff and meet like minded people studying the same or similar courses. It was also realistic about job opportunities within the company and what sort of qualifications you need. The whole day was professionally run and relatively on time and was definitely worth going.
