The paper will present an overview of how a chemical engineering graduate could put together a self managed development program to prepare for a career in the refining industry. It will cover the basic skills that are required and how to pursue them. It will suggest various resources that are available in the public domain and a suggested reading list. The paper will present an outline of a proposed action plan as well. The attempt is to enhance the knowledge and training of the individual chemical engineer by a structured learning program that can be adjusted based on individual needs.
