Shell takes its responsibilities as a partner seriously. That’s why we commit ourselves fully to the development of host country nationals.

Shell’s technical and managerial development programmes help local employees to keep abreast of the latest technologies and the most modern methods of business management. And nationals with the potential to rise to the top are encouraged to accept international postings in Shell Companies abroad where they can broaden their horizons and hone their talents in new environments.

Skills acquired in these ways help nationals play a full part in the success of their companies back home, This also ensures that, over time, it is predominantly host country nationals who will manage these businesses.

Shell believes that local businesses are best run by local people. Today, in more than 150 countries around the world, Shell is run predominantly by nationals. By helping these nationals acquire skills at the highest international levels, Shell, our partners and the communities in which we operate, have all benefited.

And to us that’s what partnership is all about.
