People Stories – Graduate Program

“The graduate program has provided me with an enduring learning experience, which allows me to determine my career interest in STEM and enhance self-growth. Also, I’m truly inspired by Prysmian Group's commitment to fostering a diverse and inclusive workforce which engenders a sense of belonging within me.”

Nanthinie, Graduate Program

“Starting my professional career, I wanted to be part of a company driving the change for a more sustainable world. I was very happy to find the graduate program which creates an unique experience, through the year of rotations and international assignment. I’ve had the opportunity to understand the technical and operational side as well as the commercial side, all the way from Mexico to Australia!”

Ines, Quality Engineer

“Hello, I am Arjun and I am a Prysmian Graduate from the 2° wave. I was hired in 2013 from USA as part of the Prysmian Graduate Program. 10 years have passed and my eagerness to learn remains the same. The Prysmian Group Graduate Program has helped me immensely not only about the technical aspects of work but also hone and develop my professional skills. I have also been encouraged to ask questions and there is always someone with a wealth of experience to make sure all my questions are answered. My experience has taken me to different Prysmian Group Facilities in different countries and different work cultures and this has made it easier for me to adapt to different situations in both my professional and personal life.   This has been a truly rewarding experience for me and many other graduates. I am available to help and share my experience with any current or future Prysmian Graduate. Don’t wait to accept whatever is in your future."

Arjun, Technical Sales Support Specialist

“I appreciated the chance to rotate through and to experience new positions in different departments; I also enjoyed the business training that we get for professional growth and the chance to move to another country, learn a new culture and language.”

Mack, Build the Future edition #8 (2019)

Manuel, Build the Future edition #8 (2019)

“Only once I joined the graduate program, I did realize the international aspect not only comes in the form of moving abroad and living amongst a new culture, but also working day to day with people of different nationalities in person and virtually."
Renee, Build the Future edition #6 (2017)

«I am still in the very early phase of the graduate program, but I think that the job rotation and the opportunity to work abroad are some of the best features of this program. Other than this, what I really like about the company is that the terms like "Diversity and Inclusion", "Gender Equality", "Sustainability" are not just used here in theory, I can see the actual efforts from the management to achieve them, which makes me proud of being a part of the Prysmian Group family.»

Charanjit Singh Jolly, from Hungary, Build the Future, edition 2022

“After graduating from university I wanted to work for a company that can make the world and the society more sustainable. I then decided to join a company like Prysmian, a leader in the cable industry. I can proudly say that I directly contribute to the energy transition and digitalization of the society.”
