Eaton on Education

Industry partnerships

Working with today’s leaders to create educational programs that address industry challenges now and in the future.

We help all industry professionals address new oil and gas challenges

The tech landscape in the oil and gas industry is changing. Rapid technology adoption has altered the way companies drill for and refine crude oil. Yet legacy technologies still remain, with many companies relying on equipment that’s been in use for decades.

The next generation of energy professionals must negotiate technologies both old and new. Our collaborations with oil and gas companies and higher education institutions clear the way for new candidates and experienced industry professionals alike. Through a commitment to programs built to address today’s tech challenges, we help assure technicians receive the education needed - for everything from landing their first job to advancing in their careers.
