Continuing Build the Future

Continuing Build the Future

Prysmian’s innovative graduate programme is entering its seventh year, confirming the success of an initiative that engages young people from all over the world on an extensive and exciting path of professional growth.

After the recruitment process, the program starts  with a two-week induction in the Group’s Milan headquarters and continues with an additional week in a local plant. During this period, the graduates get to grips with Prysmian’s products and technology, discovering how the operation and customer relationship teams work together, and starting to breathe the atmosphere in the factories.

A tried-and-tested, on-the-job training-plan allows young Prysmian employees to fulfil their potential. Participants recently also had the opportunity to meet the Group CEO, Valerio Battista, in person, as he told them: “You have real talent, selected globally after a hard recruitment process. We expect great contributions and inputs from you in the coming years. But we, as managers, have from our side a big responsibility during your training journey... we are committed to showing you the opportunities, in terms of challenging projects and career possibilities.”

Build the Future offers graduates a true feel to the business, putting them to work in a number of different roles. They experience a six-month regional R&D rotation, working with Prysmian’s technology team, three months in Operations and three in Customers Relations in their home country, while working on a personal project to help them learn more about the roles they’re best suited for.
