Dear Mark,
On October 9, 2019, over 100 people, mostly women, will fill the Los Medanos College Recital Hall with one mission in mind - transforming the lives of Bay Area women through job training and economic mobility. This will
be the third year the event has been hosted by LMC Pittsburg campus.
Energize Your Destiny, is a Los Medanos College event sponsored by Shell Oil Co. The event is a partnership between Shell’s Workforce Development and Diversity Outreach Team, Shell Martinez Refinery and community colleges
to share opportunities for job training in the trades and career opportunities for women. This special event has taken place in Louisiana, Texas and other states, but Los Medanos College was the first community college in California to partner with Shell in
hosting Energize Your Destiny.
The day begins with women from all over the Bay Area making their way out to the Pittsburg Campus. Attendees range from women looking to return to the workforce and youth from various high schools with Career Technical
Education Programs, to women who never worked outside the home and current college students. Female employees from the Shell Martinez facility demystify trades work, emphasizing safety, comradery and teamwork.
While Shell employees share their stories and encourage participants to explore skilled and technical careers like Welding, Instrumentation & Electrical and Process Technology, participants can ask questions about the
career challenges, hiring process, education required and work-life balance.
To register for the 2019, Energize Your Destiny event go to www.losmedanos.edu/shell.
Registration is free and lunch will be provided. For more information about careers at Shell, please visit www.shell.com/careers.
