Learning curriculum

We live our core values of honesty, integrity and respect, so you can work in an environment that encourages you to be the best version of yourself and respects the individual journeys each of us will take. Our values and how we care for people are an important part of life at Shell.

At Shell, we aim to become one of the most diverse and inclusive organisations in the world, a place where everyone feels valued, respected and a strong sense of belonging. We’re proud of our employee networks which include 126 ERGs across more than 30 countries and regions. Our ERGs cover a variety of groups, including: Gender, Race and ethnicity, LBGT+ and Disability Inclusion and enABLEment, experience levels (e.g new graduates and experienced hires), parents, military service and many more.

Each new joiner is assigned an ‘On-boarding buddy’ or ‘Graduate buddy’ who will help familiarise you with the way that we work at Shell.

Our supportive network will help you settle in, build friendships and offer you an exciting opportunity to lead or coordinate business or community activities.

Our culture is informal, with a flat hierarchy. Doors to senior management are open for everyone to discuss their views and ask questions, because we believe that accessible colleagues accelerate learning.

We have a recognised culture of achieving goals through teamwork. It’s a global success, which comes from our unique combination of physical, remote and virtual teams delivering exciting projects, and championing cross-cultural differences.
