Managers of the future The development of managers and technicians for tomorrow starts by recruiting the most gifted individuals today, with particular reference to new graduates. ‘Build the Future’ is an international programme for the recruitment and induction of new high-potential graduates with the objective to place them in various functions and geographical areas. The programme starts with a careful selection process, then two weeks of Group inductions, another three weeks of training, job rotation for a year, then a two-year international assignment in one of the Group’s many locations. It ends with assignment to an important technical or managerial role. The programme has already recruited over 220 young people from all over the world. In the first half of 2017, 48 new international staff were taken on, while in the second half 45,000 applications were received, leading to the recruitment of another 50 in 2018. International career development Following the success of ‘Make It’, a new programme ‘Sell It’, addressing the sales sector, was devised in 2017 with the goal of developing and growing additional sales talent. ‘Sell It’ comprises: an accurate selection process; onboarding and on-the-job training; a periodof commercial andmanagerial inductionat theGroupAcademy in Milan; assignment to a business mentor, and continuous technical and managerial training in the major markets of Europe, America and Asia.
