API President Talks Climate Changes, Minority Hiring in Oil and Gas Industry

NNPA NEWSWIRE — “API is not just an advocacy organization, it’s a standard-setting organization for the oil and gas industry. We provide those standards for free to [Historically Black Colleges and Universities], so if you are a college student at an HBCU and are interested in the oil and gas business, you are not learning those standards on day 1 when you walk into a company; you are learning them at your HBCU so you are prepared,” said Mike Sommers, American Petroleum Institute’s President and CEO.
