Internship is a program designed to help graduates and recent graduates to gain necessary work experience. Employers allow recent graduates to work in their company for a specific period.

Internship is the route to the oil and gas workplace. It helps you to gain requisite experiences that would help advance your career in the long run. Internship is also the best route to meet potential people in the industry, learn about the industry, and widen your network.

The good news is that most companies operating in Tanzania have a program for interns. All you need to do is to figure out oil and gas companies operating in Tanzania. Do not worry. I will list for you all the companies operating in Tanzania later. But first, let us focus on how to get an internship.

So, go online and log on to an oil company’s website. Go to their “Career” page. Find their internship page and follow the process. The first tips for is to apply early. That is, if you want an internship in 2018, you need to apply in 2017. The same way if you’re keen on the internship in 2019, you need to start 2018. That way, you’ll be among the early birds. As it is said, the earlier, the better.

Another great tip to get internship is to write a short application letter, and in your letter, demonstrate why you are looking to build a career in oil and gas and showcase why you are passionate about the industry. Also, you should explain the type of work you are interested in and the knowledge or skills you will bring into the company. This can be little problematic, considering you have no work experience. But it really works because you show all your interest and wishes in general. But be warned that this is very competitive. So, do it wisely.

But if you have already graduated and you never did an internship, you are not too late. You can apply as well.
