Nicole J Moncrief with Sasol Chemicals America’s Corporate Affairs team in Lake Charles, Louisiana, US is one of those team members. “When you enter a career with Sasol, understanding your craft is paramount. The Sasol Chemicals internship program in the US provides a breadth of experience: Operations, Research and Development, Supply Chain, Information Management and Document Control Management. Interns receive a realistic preview of the work that they will perform in industry. Additionally, with the incorporation of job shadowing, networking and philanthropic opportunities, students have the chance to navigate what work looks like in the real world. Couple this with Sasol being an outstanding place to work and you have employees and students who are excited to come to work and grow their careers. It always warms my heart when a former intern calls to give me an update on their career development. It makes me feel a part of the life-changing efforts that take place when a person comes to work at Sasol. This work is life changing in so many ways – career-wise, financially and intellectually. But that’s what it's all about: making a sustainable future for those individuals and their families.” Photo: Sasol interns get real-world understanding of what it’s like to live and work in Southwest Louisiana, a stronghold for Chemicals innovation and industry.

This year marks a significant milestone—my 10th anniversary as a lecturer in the Chemical Engineering Department, Universiti Teknologi PETRONAS. Reflecting on this decade, I am filled with pride and gratitude for the incredible experiences, challenges, and growth I have encountered along the way. Being part of a university that is closely aligned with industry has opened up countless opportunities, not only for me as an academic but also for the students who are at the heart of what we do. UTP’s industry-driven approach sets it apart, allowing for collaborations that extend beyond the oil and gas sectors. Over the years, I've had the privilege to work with diverse industries, learning from them while contributing to research and education. This has enriched my teaching and kept me at the cutting edge of engineering practices, which I’m able to bring directly into the classroom. Our students are the greatest beneficiaries of this industrial focus. They gain hands-on experience and insights through a range of initiatives: from engaging with adjunct lecturers who bring real-world expertise into academic settings, to participating in our 7-month internship program that immerses them in industry life. Career fairs, community service projects, and pitch competitions designed to solve real-world industrial problems all contribute to a comprehensive educational experience that goes far beyond textbooks. The 7-month internship program, in particular, is a cornerstone of our industry engagement. It’s not just about gaining experience; it's about immersing students in real-world scenarios where they learn to navigate the complexities of industrial work environments, deal with technical challenges, and understand the demands of project management. By the time they graduate, they have already spent significant time working alongside industry professionals, making them well-prepared to hit the ground running in their first job. As I look back on the last 10 years, I’m proud to be part of a university that is not only committed to academic excellence but also dedicated to ensuring that our graduates are job-ready, with the skills and mindset needed to thrive in a competitive global market. Here’s to many more years of learning, collaborating and driving innovation together.

It’s the beginning of June, which means many students have already started their summer jobs in Finland. We asked our HR summer trainees to share a few tips on how to make the most of the summer. 😎 Let's see what they had to say! 🌱 "I’ve noticed that the best summer trainee experience comes from getting to know new people, and taking breaks together. It’s also good to be open to all tasks, even across team boundaries. I’ve particularly enjoyed having the possibility to learn about new things, and having diverse job tasks. So, don’t hesitate to embrace anything new — the purpose is not to know or master everything in advance; you can always ask and get support!" - Anniina 🌱 "In my opinion the key to successful summer trainee experience is enthusiastic attitude and willingness to learn new things. If you are spending your summer at Valmet, I also recommend actively participating in the different events that Valmet organizes to summer trainees." - Emilia 🌱 "Keep an open mind from the beginning. If there are some projects or work tasks you have a chance to participate in, you should definitely do so, even if you are nervous!” - Johannes 🌱 ”One of the most important things is to be yourself and get to know your coworkers. It’s way more fun and even more efficient to work, when you know your colleagues and know who can help you with each task. Everyone I’ve met here at Valmet have been really nice and helpful. It’s also a good idea to face new tasks and challenges with an open mind as you might discover that you enjoy something, even if you had doubts at first.” - Eeti #Valmet #WorkingAtValmet #SummerTrainees

🔧🚧 Proud to share one of my key projects during my internship at Unilever, where I led comprehensive Task Hazard Analyses (THA) across over 187 machines. My focus was on identifying #risks, implementing safety controls, and ensuring a safe working environment for everyone involved. Each column in our detailed THA reports, from "Description of Step" to "Residual Risk," showcases our commitment to safety and efficiency. I employed a methodical approach to highlight potential hazards, evaluate risks, and propose actionable safety measures, ensuring we maintain a high standard of operational safety. Special thanks to Filza Shoaib for her invaluable knowledge and support throughout this #project. Swipe through the carousel to see the breakdown of our THA reports and understand how we safeguard our team and operations.

Everyday at Malaysia Petroleum Resources Corporation (MPRC), I learn something new… including that today is Interns Day! #itsnevertoolate 😆 In light of today being the day dedicated to interns – and an internship update is long due – I’m gonna write some words. I’m at my 8th week interning in Corporate Strategy & Research department at MPRC, whereby my task scope primarily revolves around sustainability, and I am very lucky to be supervised by Asmah MN. She has been incredibly patient with me and is the living, walking, talking definition of Girlboss. 1. Why is a PR major in a sustainability line? A course at college, specifically Environmental Technology taught by Dr. Jenny Ong, sparked my interest in sustainability. As a PR student, I first wondered why this was in my syllabus and how it would benefit me (Fast forward months later, it secured me an internship!). Throughout my course and my time at MPRC, I understand that sustainability is no longer something you can think about later. It's at our doorstep, and the choice is clear: embrace it or be left behind. Every individual and organization must now address sustainability, if they are to play the long game. The surging demand for corporate sustainability disclosures from governments and financial institutions are game-changers. In my internship interview with Asmah, I expressed my desire to explore a path where sustainability and communication intersect, and I'm grateful that this aspiration materialized –  I am excited to be part of this historical development. 2. How do I find my job? My situation feels akin to wildcat drilling (yes, it’s a new term I learned). I find the terms daunting to master. I came across this term in an article, which mentioned something like “...oil & gas wildcats…”. The way I sat there, confused. Hey, what’s next, O&G cougars and cowboys? 😝 Anyway, I learned that wildcat drilling means “exploratory drilling in areas that have no history of oil or gas production.” How very apt, both the word and the reader 🤣. I’m exploring this path I have little background with, drilling and striving to score. As such, I’m grateful to be in a place with helpful colleagues. I notice that I learn more by being in meetings and listening to my cool colleagues’ explanations. Beautiful how humans just never stop learning. More updates soon!
