Step

A blueprint for success

Step was devised and launched by Shell UK in 1986. It was led and funded by Shell until 2009, with the support of Government departments and agencies across the UK. The Shell Step programme won numerous awards and accolades, creating a blueprint for placement programme excellence. To this day, its highly successful formula is embodied in our three core placement programmes:

     
  • Summer placement programme for UK-based full-time undergraduates.
  • Project-based placements in small businesses that last from 8-12 weeks.
  • £210 p.w training allowance (no tax or NI).
  • Training allowance of £210 a week (free of tax and NI).
  • Placements are year-round and usually begin as 8-12 week meaningful assignments.
  • Many are extended for up to a year, with plenty of candidates being offered permanent positions.
  • Year-long ‘sandwich-style’ placements as part of your studies.
  • Meaningful work experience in forward-thinking businesses, both small and large.
