The Offshore Energy Center announced last week that three organizations have donated a total of $50,000 to develop a new Career Exhibit for the Ocean Star Offshore Drilling Rig and Museum in Galveston, Texas. The donations are from the Halliburton Foundation, $40,000; the New York Mercantile Exchange Charitable Foundation, $5,000; and the Albert and Ethel Herzstein Charitable Foundation, $5,000. "It's
very important to us that young people are knowledgeable about
the many careers that are available to them in the energy
industry," said Weldon Mire, senior vice president of
human relations for Halliburton. "We believe this exhibit
will help to open some eyes to possibilities that they
had not considered previously." The Career Exhibit will provide educational material about the numerous and varied careers in the offshore energy industry. Current data suggests a lack of young people pursuing careers in the energy industry. The exhibit will greatly expand the Center’s educational outreach by making much-needed career information available to every visitor touring the Ocean Star. Plans for the design of the exhibit are currently under consideration. The
Ocean Star Offshore Drilling Rig and Museum is located on Pier 19 at
20th Street at Harborside Drive in Galveston,
Texas. For information
