Leavers’ party

Life After Oil is a new and growing community of people who have left oil and gas careers behind. We’re finding ways to support each other, using the experience of those who left some while ago, as well as those who have done so more recently. We’re trying to grow the community in order to strengthen that support as well as to make the scale and reasons for this exodus unignorable, writes Core Advisor Jo Alexander.
