New Graduates

New graduates at Nexen are challenged through programs which offer three distinct benefits:

• Training
• Mentorship
• Developmental assignments

Together, these three areas develop technically skilled, confident and innovative employees who have an opportunity to make early contributions to Nexen’s success. This approach reinforces the company culture of continuous learning through meaningful assignments that challenge graduate capabilities.

Since January 2008, the Canadian Institute of Chartered Accountants (CICA) approved Nexen as one of a select group of corporations and government departments outside public practice to offer a CA Training Program. Given the public recognition for Nexen's governance, ethics and integrity, we’re now recognized as an official CA Training Office, offering this specialized program to new graduates.

The training consists of a practical experience requirement in which New Grads rotate through three, one-year rotations in Nexen departments offering relevant work opportunities that match the CICA competency requirements. Qualified CAs at Nexen are responsible for overseeing the CA students’ progress and their reporting to the provincial institute.

In addition to practical training, all Canadian-trained CA students must write the CA profession's uniform evaluation (UFE) – a three-day exam held each year. Module-based training, offered by the CA School of Business (CASB), is available throughout the program to help prepare CA students for the UFE.

This program complements many of our existing development options and further promotes our core value of learning.

Nexen occasionally hires new graduates to gain experience in other departments including:

• Human Resources,
• Health, Safety, Environment & Social Responsibility
• Supply Management

These developmental programs provide new grads with diverse work experiences in other, non-technical areas of Nexen.
