On 25 July 2025, Bentworth Energy had the honour of participating in the SPE Mount Kenya University Career Fair, an event themed “Bridging Industry and Academia,” which closely aligns with our commitment to empowering the next generation of energy professionals.
During the event, our team had the opportunity to introduce students to the range of services we offer and provide a glimpse into the dynamic, day-to-day life at Bentworth. It was an enriching experience engaging with aspiring professionals, sharing real-world insights, and offering guidance on transitioning from academic life to the energy industry.
As part of a thought-provoking panel discussion, we explored critical topics including:
-
What the industry looks for in fresh graduates
-
Bridging the skills gap between the classroom and the field
-
Career preparation strategies
-
Academic vs industry mindsets
-
The role of youth in shaping the future of energy
-
The importance of professional bodies
-
Personal career journeys from our panellists
The highlight of the day was the one-on-one sessions with students, where we answered questions, offered mentorship, and shared practical advice tailored to their individual interests and goals.
We are proud to contribute to strengthening the connection between academia and industry, and we look forward to continued collaboration with institutions like Mount Kenya University to support and inspire the next wave of energy professionals.
