Shell Assessed Internship Program

Students (including graduate students) can learn invaluable lessons that can’t be found in the classroom through our various internship programs.

An Assessed Internship is an excellent way to get to know Shell from the inside and immerse yourself in the energy industry. It can also help you decide what career is right for you. You’ll have full day-to-day involvement in actual projects, selected to match your interests and abilities.

You’ll join a project team and work alongside Shell employees who are all professionals in their fields. Their perspectives will contribute to your understanding of our business, its demands and rewards.

A supervisor and mentor will support you directly and you’ll undertake regular assessments throughout your internship to ensure you get the most from the experience.

As part of the Assessed Internship, you’ll have a formal mid-term review with your supervisor and mentor. At the close of your internship, there will be another final review on project delivery and performance by your supervisor and mentor. You’ll also be asked to prepare a final presentation about your project, and complete a competency based interview with Graduate Assessors.

  • Typically, 10-12 weeks in your chosen business area.
  • A real project with a significant level of business impact.
  • Discovering which skills you need to develop, through constructive feedback.
  • Developing valuable networks and contacts for future career opportunities.
