Ever wonder how LearnToDrill came to be? Hear it from our founder! ?? Check all about us - https://lnkd.in/dYFDYhnv #oilandgas #courses #simulation #petroleum
I got into the skilled trades in the nerdiest way possible. Through policy research. My junior year of college, I researched the BP Oil Spill - exploring what caused the disaster. And how to make sure it never happened again. In my research, I quickly realized poor training was a huge problem. I’ve always loved education, and so I dived in headfirst. That summer, I signed up for one of these industry classes. It was me - a fresh eyed college kid who could barely turn a wrench - alongside industry veterans with years of experience in the field. Not your typical college internship . I quickly saw opportunities where software could help. After graduating, I founded LearnToDrill. An online training platform for oil and gas safety. 12 years later, I haven’t looked back. Thanks Amy Jaffe for all your support - not sure if you knew this story :)
