Employees and contractors at our Brae platform add profitable production from the North Sea. Other core regions include the U.S., Canada and Equatorial Guinea.

Marathon wants to employ a workforce that reflects the makeup of our communities. Through local hiring practices, we develop community ties and establish a track record that helps us when entering new ventures. In operations outside of the U.S., national training and workforce integration programs may be required. These programs may be in cooperation with host governments.
Our goal is to strengthen the local pipeline of talent in support of our business objectives. Achieving this goal is challenging due to the technology requirements of oil and gas operations, especially in areas with no established industry presence. Marathon funds educational and vocational programs to build workforce capabilities in these and other areas.
We also support programs designed to interest elementary and secondary school students in science, technology, engineering and math (STEM) careers.
Approximately 60 percent of Marathon employees in the Wyoming Wind River area are indigenous peoples of Native American ancestry. Our local asset team consults with the Northern Arapaho and Eastern Shoshone Business Council to identify qualified candidates and encourages council members to observe the selection process and provide feedback on candidates.
The Williston area of North Dakota near our Bakken assets has a small population and labor pool, and high demand for workers qualified for oilfield jobs. Marathon provided funding and equipment to the regional college that trains operators and assisted in expanding its curriculum to meet industry needs.
We build capacity and measure progress globally as a foundation for sustainable social programs. To continue strengthening local capacity for long-term malaria control on Bioko Island, Marathon supported the participation of five EG Ministry of Health and Social Welfare representatives in an International Visitors Leadership Program organized by the U.S. Department of State. The delegation visited several cities to exchange information with counterparts and learn about public health care programs, policies and practices in the U.S.
Marathon’s commitment to the community is deeply rooted in our core values. Our employee-run Books for Bioko program collects supplies for schools in Equatorial Guinea.
