Williston Basin provides numerous opportunities to qualified individuals for growth and advancement, both professionally and personally. The following are just some of the programs available to our employees.

Employee Development

Based on a formalized approach to career development planning, Williston Basin may provide financial support for conferences, education and training that is beneficial to both employees and the company.

The CEO's Conference is designed to provide a challenging opportunity for selected high-potential individuals to stretch themselves beyond their normal areas of responsibilities. As part of a three-member team, individuals study, research, network and use other methods to develop team consensus and report on a topic assigned by the chief executive officer of MDU Resources Group. This developmental opportunity provides increased visibility to those individuals who may not have the opportunity to present to and interface with the executive management team.

Internships

Williston Basin's internship programs offer students an opportunity to explore their chosen major and career with professionals working in the industry, as well as gain on-the-job experience by applying what they have learned in the classroom.
