High Schools and College

API provides information to inform high school and college students about the tremendous opportunities in the oil and natural gas industry, particularly for students with a two and four-year degrees. The oil and natural gas industry will experience significant change with the retirement of the Baby Boomer generation. America’s oil and gas industry is so concerned about attracting the best and the brightest that, in 2007, API partnered with Monster.com to reach out to students across the country through www.makingitcount.com/energyapi.

This program reaches about 1.5 million 11th and 12th graders and an additional 35,000 college freshman with information about careers in the industry. It includes information about careers in the industry, profiles of young people in the industry, and links to member company websites for additional information. This program reaches into 2,500 high schools in all 50 states, and 1,200 colleges. This allows the industry to reach students who may be familiar with the industry, as well as students who may have never before considered a career in the industry.
