Interns energised in BNOCL’s summer programme

A group of students who participated in the Barbados National Oil Company Ltd (BNOCL) and Barbados National Terminal Company Ltd (BNTCL) 2024 internship programme have reported being better prepared for their future careers, having gained valuable experience in the energy sector.

BNOCL and BNTCL have successfully concluded this year’s programme, which offered the students a compelling glimpse into the professional world.

“There was never a day where something new wasn’t learnt,” one intern, who was identified only as Makayrea, and who was attached to the communication section, was quoted as saying in a press release from the BNOCL and BNTCL group of companies.

“My experience has given me insight to the hands-on aspect of technology that UWI teaches me about in theory, and also an understanding of how workplace environments are structured,” added another, identified only as Deavione, an IT intern.

Running from May to August, the programme provided talented and motivated students with hands-on experience in a dynamic work environment. Participants were exposed to various departments and projects within the BNOCL and BNTCL group of companies, working alongside experienced professionals to develop new skills and contribute to the company’s operations.

The BNOCL Group emphasised its commitment to creating a supportive and inclusive work environment, particularly for those new to the professional world, the release stated. This approach ensured that interns could grasp key concepts of work life in a nurturing setting.
