**Life is a function of decisions and not conditions. **

Shell and the Refugee Talent Hub are organizing a four-months unpaid learning program for refugees with IT experience. We are inviting you to what we believe will be an incredible, fun, and rewarding learning journey as we all, to work together and learn from each other building on a foundation of innovative technology and skilled people.

The graduates of this program get the opportunity in working at the Information & Digital Engineering organization in Shell. They will participate in workshops and gain hands-on experience working in IT projects and digital products built across businesses and geographies. For example, they will learn how IT delivers complex predictive maintenance and inventory management solutions to optimize uptime of our Upstream assets or innovative solutions that satisfy customers at one of Shell's 49,000 branded service stations.
