CNA Students Attend Energy NL 2024 Thanks to Industry-Backed Sponsorship for Diversity and Inclusion
By Allison Rowe
A group of six work-term students from CNA’s Office of Applied Research and Innovation (OARI) Reality Capture and Digitization Technology Access Centre (RCD TAC) were given the opportunity to immerse themselves in the dynamic atmosphere of the conference.
This enriching experience was made possible through the generous sponsorship of industry giants such as BP Canada Energy Group ULC, ExxonMobil Canada Properties, Cenovus Energy Inc., Equinor, and Suncor. These companies are avid supporters of the Diversity and Inclusion initiative, which is dedicated to funding a variety of activities and programs aimed at promoting awareness and cultivating an inclusive culture both within the workplace and across the energy sector.
The conference presented an invaluable platform for the students to engage with top-tier industry professionals from around the globe and to gain insights into the innovative developments unfolding within Newfoundland and Labrador’s burgeoning green energy landscape. In a recent interaction, we delved into the perspectives of these aspiring leaders to gain a deeper understanding of their vision for Newfoundland and Labrador’s sustainable energy prospects as well as their aspirations for the future.
