The Prysmian Graduate Programme offers the selected young people an immersive experience from the first day. The program starts with a two-week Global Induction with training and activities led by the Prysmian Group Academy in collaboration with a top-ranking business school.
The Induction is followed by a one-year job rotation in the country of employment in 3 different departments: Research and Development, Operations in a production site and Sales Support. After the first year of rotation, a three-year international assignment is organized in a technical role closely linked to the Company’s core business. At the end of the assignment abroad, participants return to their country of employment and take on new responsibilities in the technical or business areas.
Diversity and inclusion
Fully utilizing the global expertise of its people is an integral part of Prysmian’s long-term sustainability strategy. Prysmian is proactively developing as an organization that recognizes the need for diversity, inclusion, and gender equality at all levels, and is committed to empowering more women to pursue careers within Prysmian in technical and scientific roles.
The Group is also promoting programs to expand the digital inclusion of all its employees while eliminating discrimination by role or position.
