Internships

Think of our internships as a crash course in what it's like to work for one of the world's most forward thinking energy companies. Which means real work in real Shell teams, working alongside our top people. This is not work experience; this is working for Shell, on real projects specifically matched to your interests and abilities.

Lasting anywhere from eight weeks and twelve months, our internships are not only paid, they'll also give you invaluable exposure and experience at Shell.
