every year dozens of our students take internships at this company.
Currently, many BHOS graduates work at BP. BP staff teach BHOS
students, while our faculty members are involved in BP projects. We
are very pleased with the support provided to our university by BP
and its partners. Baku Higher Oil School trains specialists in
accordance with the requirements of the labor market, so we plan to
start training specialists in renewable energy. Our university will

Noting that Baku Higher Oil School is one of the country's most
