What our Graduates have to say
I work offshore on a rig and I meet all sorts of people from different backgrounds. It is inspiring to see people across the company working in other areas, but we all have the same passion to transition to lower-carbon energy. It’s great that I am part of a team and I don’t have to make this journey on my own.
We have sizeable technology centres with lots of innovation projects, many of which are focused on the energy transition.
My experience as a Trading & Supply Graduate has been amazing. The people, pace, complexity and significance of the work we do is immensely satisfying. It makes coming to work every day a real joy.
Shell is one of the world’s largest commodities trading firms and the people that make up T&S have decades of experience to share and learn from, which makes being here a truly one-of-a-kind experience for those early in their career.
The T&S Graduate Programme challenges you professionally, but also gives you the means needed to excel. It empowered me to feel like I was working towards something while helping me see my growth throughout the process.
The Shell Graduate Programme is how I started in the commercial side of the business. It is a pretty awesome experience, with lots of support and special opportunities as a new employee. It was a good way to kickstart my career.
