Because we recognise that people are behind our success, we’re committed to providing the training they need to fully optimise their skills and potential. That’s why we offer a huge range of training and development activities. Depending on your business area, location and role, you could have the opportunity to experience one or more of the following:  

1. On-the-job learning - you can expect to move both sideways and upwards through the business, building on your skills as you go
2. Training for recognised professional qualifications - either through external organisations or Shell’s own extensive training services and facilities
3. Personal development programmes
4. Direction and support - from ’buddy’ schemes, mentoring and regular appraisals with line managers.

In addition to these initiatives, we also have tailored training for all of our new starters, including inductions and Shell Life. Shell Life is a highly experiential and interactive course for graduates designed to develop your leadership potential.  The course helps participants reflect on their personal direction and the leadership, interpersonal effectiveness and business awareness qualities they’ll need if they’re going to have a successful career with Shell.
