Females Fueling Our Workplace

Danos employees helped facilitate the annual “Females Fueling the Workforce” event hosted by South Central Industrial Association (SCIA) and Fletcher Technical Community College at the BP Houma Operations Learning Center in Schriever. Over 500 female sophomore students from 10 area high schools in Terrebonne and Lafourche attended the two-day event, engaging with industry leaders and exploring future career opportunities.

Danos employees who volunteered were: Commercial Analyst Eliannys Cabrera, Media Relations Coordinator Samantha Magee, Recruiting Coordinator Cierra Marcel and Commercial Assistant Alyce Theriot.

This year’s event featured 25 dynamic female speakers from organizations including BP, Chevron, SLB, Shell, Bollinger, John Deere, the U.S. Coast Guard, FORCE Industries and LUMCON. These industry representatives shared their personal stories of their own career path, as well as insights into the diverse opportunities available for women in the STEM and energy sectors, aiming to inspire these students that anything is possible when it comes to their career choice.

Sponsored by BP and Capital One, the event provided a platform for interactive sessions, networking opportunities and mentorship. Feedback from participants was overwhelmingly positive, with many expressing newfound inspiration to explore careers in traditionally male-dominated fields.
