Michael is a judge for the 4th year running for the Shell Step Programme where enterprisi ng students present their 12 week Summer work placement to a panel of judges showing how they have improve the company which they have worked for.

Michael was once a joint first Shell Step student himself back quite a few years now, and will understand what the students are going through. Not only do you work for up to 12 weeks in a project that you are interested in during university study, at the end, you have to write a concise report and present to a panel of judges. If you win round one, the students  go through round two with the possibility of winning to go through to the national Final.
