Discover more about applying for an Assessed Internship, and see if a career at Shell is what you’re looking for.
An Assessed Internship (AI) is an excellent way to get to know Shell from the inside. Immerse yourself in the Energy industry and decide what career is right for you.
Your time in an AI will see you having a full day-to-day involvement in actual projects selected to match your interests and abilities. You will join a team and work alongside Shell employees who are all professionals in their fields. To ensure that you will get the most from the experience, a supervisor and a mentor will support you directly while you undertake regular assessments throughout your internship. Their perspectives will contribute to your understanding of the business, and its demands and rewards
You’ll be evaluated on your capacity for analysis, decision-making and creating workable solutions, as well as your drive, enthusiasm, resilience and confidence.
During an Assessed Internship, you’ll have a formal mid-term review with your mentor and supervisor. Following this, there will be a final review where there would be a competency based interview. You’ll also be asked to prepare a final presentation about your project.
Your success in the Assessed Internship could result in you being offered a full time role.
Energy Transition Challenge: Searching for New Energies
Energy fuels both the global economy and our everyday lives, and with a global improvement of living standards and population growth, we are seeing the continued rise in demand for energy. The big challenge is how to provide much more energy while, at the same time, significantly reducing carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions. This is what we call the Energy Challenge.
Working towards a low-carbon future
We recognise the significance of climate change, along with the role energy plays in helping people achieve and maintain an good quality of life. A key role for society—and for Shell—is to find ways to provide much more energy with less carbon dioxide. This global energy transition therefore requires a huge undertaking—producing and consuming energy in a different way. We need to design our economies, communities, and lives to thrive on these energy systems.
