From Classroom to Career: Shell Case Study Experience
To bridge the education and industry, the Careers Advisory Service partnered with Shell Malaysia to host a dynamic Case Study Workshop, offering students a valuable simulation of an actual assessment centre experience. Held at H1B13 and HB14, the half-day event welcomed 26 students who were grouped into teams to tackle a pressing and relevant industry challenge, identifying the potential for electric vehicle (EV) charging stations in Malaysia.
The session began with a short briefing, followed by group discussions and presentations. Each team had 20 minutes to pitch their proposals—an exercise designed to enhance their ability to think critically under pressure, solve complex problems, and communicate effectively as a group. Students were encouraged to bring their own devices for on-the-spot collaboration and slide preparation.
Facilitating the session were representatives from Shell, including:
-
Jeremy Lee, Director of E-Mobility
-
Daniel Boey, Energy Engineer
-
Hidayah, Contracting & Procurement Lead
They were joined by additional Shell facilitators who acted as mentors and panel judges throughout the day. Students received real-time feedback and were observed for their performance, simulating a real-world evaluation setting similar to Shell’s Graduate Programme assessment centres.
The workshop also featured a sharing session with Shell employees, including alumni of the Shell Graduate Programme, who offered personal insights into the industry and Shell’s career development opportunities. This session helped students understand how the skills they practised during the workshop aligned with real-world job expectations.
By the end of the session, students walked away with sharpened skills in critical thinking, teamwork, communication, decision-making, and problem-solving, along with a clearer understanding of how to prepare for future career assessments. For many, the workshop was more than a competition; it was a stepping stone towards becoming industry-ready graduates.
