What is behind the first step into the professional world? For some, that is the first internship. For others – the diploma in hand and the search for employment to justify all the accumulated knowledge. For others – the ability to learn through projects under the supervision of professionals. At Schneider Electric the beginning of the career is not just an entry point into the corporate world, but an opportunity for young people to participate in the creation of a sustainable and energy efficient future.

"From their very first day at the company, young professionals have the opportunity to learn, develop skills, and participate in projects of real business significance. This is particularly valuable at the start of their professional journey, when the leadership theory learned at university needs to be translated into practical skills," the company noted.

For students, internship is often their first encounter with a real work environment. At Schneider Electric, it is more than just a piece of text to put on a CV. Interns work on real projects, being part of teams and developing practical skills, while at the same time getting acquainted with different professional departments. Depending on their role and location, they can involve themselves with different functions and business departments. "At Schneider Electric, we believe that the start of a professional journey is much more than just a first job. That is why we provide young talent with an environment where they can be supported by experienced professionals, receive mentorship, and discover their path," the company explained.

For recent university graduates, the transition to the workforce can sometimes seem like a major step. Schneider Electric’s graduate programs are designed precisely for this stage: by joining them, young professionals take on real responsibilities, receive support from mentors, and gain access to training that fosters their professional development.
