Application process for the Shell Graduate Program

Online application

Find a Graduate Program in your country location by using the search bar. Complete your application online – note you can save time by connecting your LinkedIn profile. Before applying, make sure you are eligible to work in the country where the program is based. The application shouldn’t take more than 5-10 minutes.

You can also use our degree matcher tool to help you find the career path best suited for you, and see how many opportunities are available. Keep the results in mind when you are asked in the application form what career area within Shell you are most interested in.

Stage One: Virtual Job Tryout and On-Demand Interview

Step into the role with our Virtual Job Tryout, the first stage of your application journey. Experience the job through simulations where you tackle challenges, demonstrate your problem-solving skills, share your unique story, and reveal your work approach. This is a dynamic way to gauge how you’ll fit into a role in the Shell Graduate Program. Once you complete the Virtual Job Tryout, you will then move on to the On-Demand Interview. During the On-Demand Interview, you will be given enough time to prepare for each question before being asked to record your responses. You will be given the option to save your progress, though you will have to complete the interview within 7 days from receiving the invitation.

The Virtual Job Tryout and On-Demand Interview will take approximately 40 minutes.

Stage Two: Final Assessment (Virtual)

Applicants to either program will complete a virtual case study session with two Shell employees. You will need to read and prepare for this, but don’t worry, all the information you need will be provided to you in advance.

Applicants to the Shell Graduate Program (SGP) will complete a virtual interview with the same two Shell employees. This allows us to get to know you better and for you to get to know us better.
