Track 1: Undergraduate SIWES Internship
Who It’s For
Nigerian students currently enrolled in a program leading to a Bachelor’s degree, National Diploma (ND), or Higher National Diploma (HND), studying either locally or internationally.
Key Requirements
- Industrial training (SIWES) must be a compulsory requirement for completing your academic program
- Must be available to commence deployment between July and August
- A SIWES recommendation letter from your institution is mandatory
Application Tip
Request your SIWES recommendation letter from your institution well ahead of the deadline, this is often the step that catches students off guard, since institutional processing times can be slow.
Track 2: Postgraduate Internship
Who It’s For
Master’s and PhD students currently enrolled in a relevant academic program.
Key Requirements
- Enrollment in a graduate-level academic program
- Relevant academic transcripts and qualification documentation
- Strong communication and interpersonal skills, as emphasized throughout the selection process
Application Tip
When describing your research areas or interests in your application, be specific, Chevron’s application process includes a field for research areas/areas of interest, and vague descriptions are less competitive than clearly articulated technical focus areas.

Recent Nigerian graduates holding a BSc in Medical Radiography from local or international institutions.
Key Requirements
- A provisional license issued by the Radiographers Registration Board of Nigeria (RRBN)

Application Tip
Ensure your RRBN provisional license is active and its details exactly match your application before submitting, licensing mismatches are a common cause of automatic disqualification for medical-track applicants.

Selection Process (All Tracks)
After the application deadline, Chevron reviews submissions against the specific track’s requirements. Shortlisted candidates proceed to a mandatory aptitude or technical skills test.
Final selection is based strictly on candidate performance and available internship space, competition is significant given the volume of applicants for a limited number of slots.
Common Mistakes Applicants Make
- Applying for a track that doesn’t match their actual qualification (e.g., a general BSc holder applying to the Medical Radiographer track without RRBN licensing)
- Submitting an application without the mandatory recommendation/SIWES letter
- Leaving the research areas/interests field vague for the Postgraduate track
- Applying close to the deadline, risking submission errors under time pressure
Expert Tips for Success
- Start gathering your recommendation letter and transcripts as soon as an application window is announced, these take the longest to obtain.
- Tailor your application specifically to your chosen track rather than submitting a generic profile.
- For medical tracks, confirm your provisional license status is current and active before applying.
- Apply early within the window rather than waiting until the deadline, given the rolling review process.
