Three routes into Shell

There are three alternative routes into Shell for you to choose from. So it’s worth finding out more now, as you’ll be asked to select your preferred route during the early stages of the application process.

To get started, simply complete our online application form, attach your full CV and complete the two Shell questionnaires.

If successful at the interview stage, you’ll gain direct experience of Shell through one of the three routes:

Option A: Shell Recruitment Day

A full day of exercises, presentations and a group discussion – enabling you to find out how well you cope in different business scenarios.

Option B: Gourami Business Challenge

A 5-day business challenge where you will gain an excellent understanding of our global businesses and working culture.  You will work in a project team to develop and strategic business plan for Shell’s operations in the fictional country of Gourami, working through technical and commercial activities. 

Option C: Internship

An internship will give you first-hand experience of Shell as an employer and exposure to a range of real-life business projects.

After you’ve joined

Our Onboarding activities for graduates – now standardised globally under the Develop banner – ensure that new recruits enjoy a positive experience right from the start.

The Develop programme offers a range of career development activities, designed to help you maximise your knowledge-base and make a real contribution as soon as possible.
