Prysmian Group has launched the eighth edition of its international recruitment program ‘Build the Future’, which offers graduates a highly professional training path through their integration into an outstanding working environment. Fifty new graduates with different backgrounds – economics, business, engineering, physics, chemistry, mathematics and information technology – will come from all corners of the globe to join our team this year.
The recruitment process will be taking place until December 2018 and the selected graduates will be integrated by the first quarter of 2019.
Since 2012, Prysmian has recruited nearly 300 graduates from over 30 countries in five continents. In 2017, 42% of new recruits were women and the percentage of females is set to grow to 50% by 2019. The program’s goal, after the first three years, is to assign graduates the roles of junior manager or specialist in a technical area, in the country of origin or overseas, according to a merit-based approach based on performance, personal aptitude, results and company needs.
“We strongly believe that young people’s contribution is fundamental in terms of ideas and innovation,” commented Fabrizio Rutschmann, Chief HR Officer, Prysmian Group. “They are also involved in accelerating our company’s growth, making it more competitive, as well as being increasingly open to and integrated with the communities in which we operate”.
“Make It” is a four-year program targeted at manufacturing engineers, as well as other specialist technical staff who have obtained a bachelor’s degree in engineering, or equivalent, and who possess 3 to 7 years of experience in similar positions. The program includes a three-month local on-boarding, a two weeks introduction in the Group’s headquarter in Milan and attendance at the Prysmian Group Academy.
“Sell It” is a three-year career development program for talented sales professionals. The training takes place within the Prysmian Group Academy – in partnership with the world’s most renowned business schools – and continues in the Group’s key locations through a structured and constantly monitored induction program that from the beginning has allowed the attendees to meet all key customers in each of the business areas.
