University of Calgary PLM Mentor Program
The Mentorship Committee has taken great strides in assisting many university students enrolled in the Petroleum Land Management Program at the University of Calgary to assist these aspiring young Landmen to get their “foot in the door”. This program which sees PLM students being mentored by experienced Landmen in real working environments has allowed many of the students to find full time positions in the business, often with the mentor’s company. All CAPL members should consider donating their time to share their knowledge and experience by mentoring a PLM student – you’ll be amazed at what you can learn!
