Downstream Challenge is BP’s early career graduate development programme, and the aim of the programme is to build fully competent independent professionals within a discipline to support business delivery across the Southern Africa business. It is a competency-based programme which provides graduates with practical experience and formal learning while building discipline foundations.
In South Africa and Mozambique, the programme typically runs over 24 months and consists of rotations depending on the business requirements. The actual time could be longer or shorter depending on individual circumstances and experience.
We believe Downstream Challenge offers you a head start in the company with a fantastic set of opportunities such as structured training and other opportunities to develop competencies within your chosen discipline, as well as proactive support and coaching for your development from your Line Manager and chosen Mentor.
