For participants, the programme helps build their leadership competencies and skills, exposes them to real business challenges from which to learn, and provides guidance on how to improve their current performance. Other benefits include experience working in a team to deliver results and establishing a global professional network.

The Shell Graduate Programme encourages participants to demonstrate a commitment to Shell’s core values of honesty, integrity, and respect for people. In addition, they are expected to champion the company’s five behavioural imperatives that are considered key to business success. These behaviours include having an external focus and a commercial mind set, as well as maintaining a focus on delivery, speed and simplicity.
