We have socials, we have fun

The group of us early careers employees at bp have become a real close-knit collective. We go out and spend a lot of time together. We have socials, we have fun, and we forget about work because at the end of the day we are young and want to relax sometimes!

Amal Khan
P&C degree apprentice
“Joining as an apprentice, at first, I did not grasp how much space there was for me to develop and grow within the company. In my apprenticeship I’ve received excellent training and support. I even got the chance to travel to Rotterdam in the Netherlands for an audit I was working on.”
