Physical Commodities Work experience?

How realistic is it to ask for work experience at a major commodity trading house such as Trafigura, Glencore, Mercuria or Vitol? Do these firms ever offer informal shadowing or work experience to sixth-form or university students through networking, or is it generally limited to formal internships?
