This opportunity is open to Juniors and it has been structured to accommodate students who might already have a summer job. ALL EXPENSES will be covered for selected participants. Refer any questions to Stacey.Duplessis at shell.com The Shell Gourami Challenge is a week-long course that provides ambitious and curious students alike a first-hand look into the dynamics and complexities of the energy business in all its aspects -- from the upstream operations of Exploration and Production; to the downstream operations of Refining and Marketing, and the critical services operations of Finance and Human Resources that underpin it all. Open to 45 students who are either technical (BS in Engineering - Petroleum, Chemical, Mechanical, Geological; MS Geology and Geophysics) or business (BS in Accounting, Finance, HR, Marketing) majors, the Shell 2004 Gourami Challenge exposes participants to the realities of timely issues facing Shell, such as sustainable development, social responsibility, risk management, and competitive rivalries. Please note that specific criteria (year of study, degree level, GPA) have been established for eligibility. Gourami is an innovative way for talented students in technical and commercial fields to gain insight into our company and our culture, experience the unique challenges of working in the energy industry, and enjoy a week of camaraderie and networking with peers across the nation and Shell staff. This year, the US program will be held on August 8th - 13th at the Shell Learning Center, a resort and conference facility nestled in the Woodlands, Texas. All expenses for the week will be covered for selected participants. I would also like to point out that due to the timing of the program in August, students who may have already accepted a summer internship with another company may still have an opportunity to join the Shell Gourami Challenge as well before returning to school. From Shell's perspective, Gourami is also an important way to begin identifying some of your best talent early on! Applications are being accepted now, so we encourage you to forward this information along to your interested students. We are especially searching for strong technical students to participate in this years program. More detailed information can be found on our website http://www.shell.com/careers under the Students section. If you are ready to apply, you will need to complete the first important step in the recruitment process by registering with Shell via our on-line recruiting system. >>- Other news from our office.....
