Our Graduate Program provides an immersive experience in our company from day 1.

The program starts with a one-week Global Induction with trainings and activities led by the Prysmian Academy in collaboration with a Top-Ranking Business School.

Following your induction, you will be part of a one-year job rotation within the Country where you have been hired, spanning across 2 different departments: Research and Development and Operations in one of our production sites.

After the first year of rotation, you will take a local role in your home country for one year in one of the 2 areas of your rotation.

On your third year, the path you take depends on whether you are part of the Global Program or the Local Program – Empower your community.

For those in the Global Program: you will start the international assignment for a duration of 3 years. You’ll be assigned by the Talent Acquisition and People Development team to a technical role, mainly based in one of our production sites strongly linked to the core of our business and needs in that specific moment. You’ll learn new ways of working, acquire new knowledge and embrace a new culture!

At the end of your assignment abroad (Off Program), as you return to the Country you’ve been hired in, you will continue your career at Prysmian in the same area or in a new one based on your performance and available development opportunities.

If you enrolled in the Local Program: you will start performing a brand-new role which is aligned to your interest and the business needs of the region you’ve been hired in. You will contribute to accelerate the Energy Transition and the digitalization of your country and/or regional community.

Program overview

Build the Future is our exciting international Graduate Program that provides complete immersion in the business, right from the start. It offers:

• Permanent contract with highly competitive salary - Our business success is not just the result of our strong technologies and products but is driven by our employees' commitment and performance. Our employees are rewarded based on their performance and leadership skills and we challenge ourselves to find the best way to reward them through innovative and sustainable compensation programs fostering internal pay equity and external competitiveness.
• Induction training in our HQ delivered in partnership with a top Business School - After your local on boarding and induction, you will spend 2 weeks in our head office in Milan Italy. You will receive a great overview of the company and of local businesses, meet our Group CEO, get to grips with our products and technology, discover how our operations and customer relationship teams work together and you’ll even get a tour of one of our factories. Furthermore, after two years in the program, you will return to Milan and participate in different business games with senior managers.  Thanks to our partnership with SDA Bocconi, you’ll also attend a session on Management Skills fundamentals.
• Job rotation - 9 months (R&D, Operations and Sales) - To get a true feel for the business, you will have the chance to work in a number of roles in your home country.  You will experience a 3 month country or regional R&D rotation, working with the product technology team, 3 months in Operations and 3 months in Customer Relations all in your home country. Whilst undertaking this rotation you will be working on a personal project to help learn more about the kind of roles you’d be best suited for.  
• Warm up period - 3 months - You will be given the opportunity to do a "warm up" period of 3 months working in the role of your international job assignment, but within your home country. This will help to prepare you for the next 2 years of international placement.
• International assignments within a multicultural environment - Having spent a year getting to know the business on a local level and enjoying the 3 month "warm up" period for your new international role, you will get the chance to expand your work and cultural experience overseas. You will be embarking on a 2 years international placement in either Sales, Operations, R&D or a Staff function. The Graduate Committee is responsible for the allocation of the roles and regions that you are placed in. As with your first year, your performance over the course of your time with us will be evaluated per the P3 - Prysmian People Performance system and the outcomes and a range of options discussed with you.
• Technical or Junior managerial appointment - Finally, your broad experience and understanding of the business will mean you should be ready to take on a Technical or Junior management role, either in your home country or overseas.
