After the induction, the learning path continues with training courses and networking events that will allow candidates to develop skills and unlock their full potential.

The Recruiting Process

We’ve started our diversity and inclusion efforts with our “Side by Side” initiatives; we believed then and strongly advocate even more now that people create companies and their values and stories. Being a more supportive and inclusive company also means becoming better and more performing. Everyday activities and long-term plans pave our path. That’s why we have targets to achieve by 2030 in social sustainability.

 

One of our goals is to enroll 500+ women in our STEM program by 2030.

“I identify myself as a feminist, and as an integrant of the operations team, I couldn’t be more excited with the company's goal to hire 500 additional women in STEM by 2030. I am sure it will bring much value to our company and a new atmosphere to our plants. Women can work everywhere, and it is not a biased and retrograde opinion that will limit us, at the least not here in Prysmian.”

Priscila Kimberlim, Continuous Improvement Specialist, Highland Heights, North America

“My experience in Prysmian Group has been great. 3 months ago I decided to leave my previous job (12 years) for this new opportunity. Today I'm sure it was the best decision. Prysmian is a company to grow up, where the development of human talent comes first, enhancing skills and giving value to products with its people. My professional career development has been constantly supported since I began with programs like STEM it (MAKE it) and mentoring programs. They are part of the tools that make me feel safe and happy with my development and the future in this organization.”

Dayan Miguel Quintero, Process Engineer Manager, LATAM

“My name is Federico, and I’m responsible for Group Lean & Industry 4.0 at Prysmian Group. In my job, I have the chance to work on challenging projects and collaborate with colleagues worldwide. One of the aspects that I enjoy the most is the opportunity to combine the strategic view with the technical one, allowing me to develop my professional skills and support the growth of our 100+ plants in the world.”

Federico Donadeo, Group Lean & 4.0 Manager, HQ

“Working for Prysmian has been, and still is, a very intense journey. Born by chance, like all important stories, from a strong harmony with the values of the Company. A Company that asks for a focused commitment to the best result but which supports and strengthens its resources. Working at Prysmian means never settling for the obvious but going further and further, being part of a Team. Working at Prysmian has taught me to be always humble, consistent, clear and sincere. It has allowed me to share my vision of things and put my passion into the things I do daily, together with my Team.”

Marco Giordano, FOS Battipaglia Plant Director, Telecom Business Unit

“The company has been very supportive of me and my STEM role here. I'm very grateful to have been a part of different training opportunities, such as manufacturing fundamentals training and Six Sigma Greenbelt, I'm glad that Prysmian takes time to invest in its people.”

Carli Whitfield, High Voltage Type Test & Lab Database Specialist, Marshall, NA

“Generating an impact and global bounding towards diversity and gender equality was the main driver for starting my career within the commercial area here at Prysmian. During my first 2 years, I started to support the Nicaraguan and Caribbean countries which led me to focus my interest on customer delight and service quality. I have been eager to develop my career with an open and global mindset, and a few months ago, I took on a new role within the Product Development team for Central America and the Caribbean.
I can certainly state that Prysmian has allowed me to innovate, optimize, and continue adding value to my career while supporting our customers, their markets, and the business organization.”

Michiko Matsusaka, Product Development Manager, LATAM

“I started my career with the Graduate Program in Operations. I have ten years of experience between Manufacturing and Quality, focused on Continuous Improvement and Industry 4.0 among different industries. Today, I’m part of the Lean and Industry 4.0 team, leading a project that will allow Prysmian to enter the new manufacturing era towards Digitalization. As soon as I joined Prysmian, I discovered to be part of a global team with high competency and open to welcoming the digital challenges of our time. I’m aware of the importance of diversity, and I am committed to supporting the achievement of the global agenda goals, contributing with products that are essential drivers to our sustainable development.”

Maria Luisa Calvanese, Industrial Efficiency Manager, HQ

“If I had to find a keyword to inspire women who want to pursue a career in STEM it would be transformation. Ask yourself questions, try new experiences, and do everything to get to know yourself and others. Finding a purpose in life translates into a more fulfilled life for you and some inspiration for those around you.”

Cristina Elena Baisan, Process Engineer, France, South Europe

“To describe my program in one word: discovering. For those who want to start a career in STEM, I would suggest not to believe people who tell you that you cannot do what you want to do. Believe in yourself. There is nothing impossible for those with enough willpower.”

Juliana Camara, Supply Chain Manager, St. Jerome, Canada, North America
