Hi my fellow nairalanders. Please I have been hearing about shell company internship but i don't know what it is all about (like how to apply, qualifications needed and so on) please i need an insight on what it is about, thanks a million in advance.

Well, i don't know about SHELL internship but an internship is a training period or employment like training in which university undergraduates or graduates are contracted to work in the company for a fixed period of time. Usually 3months to 1year depending on the scheme involved. Undergraduates usually have max of 5months and grads 1 year. Sometimes these training serves as a platform for companies to recruit talented students into their pool of entry level grads.

So i guess the same is what is happening at SHELL. Hope this helps.

I did my internship in Shell Nigeria in 2004. Back then, it was 100% man no man or atleast you need to be recommended by some top Shell boss but I dont know if things have changed now. The worst thing about doing internship in Shell is that you hardly learn anything but you're instead used as an educated messenger, doing the errands of your bosses and hardly ever adding technical knowledge to your life. It is only on very few occasion that you get to be involved in technical stuffs like going to the field and it has alot to do with how well you push and whether your boss likes you or you have someone up there interceding on your behalf. In summary, they don't have a structured training for interns. You only brag amongst your friend you're doing an internship in Shell, enter their staff bus to work and are fed good food everyday. I presently don't know how much they pay but back then, it was meagre 5,000 naira.
If you have an option to do an internship in a smaller company that will expose you to technical knowledge, I'll recommend you go for it. The big operators are just there for bragging when it comes to internship

But @2good can other commercial courses like accountancy,bus admin participate for d internship?
