About the Programme

What Is OYP?

OYP is an acronym for OGTAN Young Professionals — a human capacity development initiative of the OGTAN University Liaison Commission designed to aid Nigerian youths in tertiary institutions gain knowledge of and commence early participation in Oil and Gas Industry career building programs.

There is a dire need for re-education and re-training of many Nigerian graduates today towards specific career development due to the insufficiency of university curriculums to adequately cover skills required for the world of work.

The OYP portal targets tertiary undergraduates at their 300–500 study levels as well as fresh graduates currently going through their NYSC year of national service.
