1 AES Shareholder Programs, Training, and Development

2 Introduction ASRC Energy Services has partnered with producers, vocational training centers, and educational institutions to give ASRC Shareholders potential career opportunities by providing them with training and exposure to the oil and gas industry through internships, on-the-job training, NCCER apprenticeship training, and paid jobs training. The goal of AES s Shareholder Programs,Training and Development is three-fold: Provide North Slope communities with economic development opportunities. Familiarize Shareholders with the types of services AES provides to the industry. Prepare the next generation for careers as professionals and skilled craft workers. The success of these programs results in a steady supply of qualified, skilled employees for the oil and gas industry, trained to be a more safe and productive workforce.

3 Shareholder Internship program Designed for ASRC Shareholders who are pursuing a higher education at an accredited college or university, the AES Internship program familiarizes students with potential, professionallevel career paths in the oil and gas industry and prepares them for successful careers after graduation. Placement is based on the intern s area of interest and provides them with a year-round paid job while giving them opportunities for mentorship with successful employees. Another aspect of the program includes a model Board of Directors simulation where interns learn Parliamentary procedure and the roles and responsibilities of board members. Interns use these skills during monthly meetings to discuss their involvement in community service projects, cultural activities, and other events. The simulation teaches interns leadership skills while preparing them for future roles on ASRC s Board of Directors or on other boards in the community. To maintain eligibility, students must meet regular program requirements while working a maximum of 20 hours per week during the school year. These requirements include enrollment in at least nine credits per semester and a minimum of 2.0 GPA. During the summer and on regularly scheduled school breaks, interns may work a maximum of 40 hours per week. Overtime is prohibited and vacation pay or paid time off is not allowed. Upon degree completion, interns become eligible for permanent placement within the ASRC family of companies.

4 AES Craft Training and Apprenticeship Program AES is a designated Training Program Sponsor and Assessment Center by the National Center for Construction Education and Research (NCCER) and recognized as a U.S. Department of Labor Apprenticeship Program Sponsor.
