  • 3. To what extent were you given support and guidance by management/your supervisor(s)?

    • You are given as much support as you want. The project is your own, therefore, in some ways it is up to you to ask for more/less guidance. I really liked the balance which I had.

  • 6. To what extent did/will the skills you developed, and training you received, assist you in your degree studies and beyond?

    • Learnt so much during my time at Shell - new software, gained confidence in presenting technical information to project stakeholders along with increasing my knowledge of the oil and gas sector. From an industrial safety point of view, this internship was very beneficial as it illustrated the real dangers which could exist within this field of work.
