What is Build the Future?

Build the Future is the Prysmian Group Graduate Program. The 2024 edition will be number 13!

 

We aim to hire talents globally with diverse backgrounds and experiences who are eager to make our world a more sustainable place and ready to embrace new challenges.

 

Are you willing to make your mark in the Energy transition and Digitalization of our communities? Be part of this important change and help us build a better future for all of us. Join our global team!

 

The Program offers two different paths; in the Global Build the Future, you will have a 3-year international experience, and in the Empower Your Community path, you will stay in the region where you were hired. You will find more info below!

Are you up for the challenge?

Our Graduate Program provides an immersive experience in our company from day one.

 

The program starts with a two-week Global Induction, featuring training and activities led by the Prysmian Group Academy in collaboration with a top-ranking business school.

 

Following your induction, you will start a one-year job rotation in 3 different departments: Research and Development, Operations (located in one of our production sites), and Sales Support/Technical Sales. This first year takes place in the country where you were hired.

 

After the first year of rotations, you will start your international assignment, which has a duration of 3 years.

 

In your third year, if you are part of the Global Build the Future Program, you will start the International Assignment for a duration of 3 years. If you are part of the Local Empower Your Community Program you’ll take over a local role in North America. In both cases, you’ll be assigned to a technical role at one of our production sites strongly linked to the core of our business. You’ll learn new ways of working, acquire new knowledge, and learn more about different cultures!

 

At the end of your International Assignment, as you return to the Country you’ve been hired in, you will continue your career at Prysmian Group in the same area or in a new one based on your performance and available development opportunities.

“The PGP has been a challenge since day one. The constant exposure to obstacles and opportunities dictated my path inside the company. Among different positive impacts, I highlight that Prysmian has given me the opportunity to learn a new language, to build an international profile and significantly boosted my self-confidence in my personal and professional life. Looking back in time, the PGP was the entrance door to an outstanding adventure.”
