GRADUATING IN BUILD THE FUTURE

Prysmian is seeking 40 talented young people from around the world for its sixth edition of the international recruitment programme.

When the search process aimed at selecting 40 new graduates in Economics, Engineering, Physics, Chemistry and Mathematics is completed, the sixth edition of Build the Future will bring the number of talented young people of various nationalities who have joined the company through the programme to over 200. For selected candidates, the programme includes an initial training period at the Group’s Milan headquarters, in partnership with SDA Bocconi School of Management, followed by a one-year job rotation in their country of origin in R&D, operations and sales, followed by two years abroad within a specific department. This allows participants to get first to the heart of the Group’s dynamics and its production process, while the subsequent years of experience will allow graduates to be fully integrated into the organisation, making their own significant contributions to business objectives. This year, for the first time, Prysmian is opening its doors to candidates early during the selection process, through a weekly live chat on the Prysmian Group Graduate Programme Facebook page through which more than 10.000 people from all over the world have been engaged, by meeting them online and answering their questions. Also other social channels have been used such as Linkedin, Local Job Portals, Universities. One month and a half before subscribsion close, the target of 20,000 applications with the final aim of selecting 40 candidates was already reached.

“Making the most of our resources and recruitment programmes remains a fundamental aspect of the Group’s growth: the promising young people of today are a very valuable resource for the company’s future. Build the Future is a concrete example of our strategy, as we believe strongly in the competitive advantage that derives from the talent of people.”
