Graduate Management Trainee Review

by Equans

Rating

7.8/10
  • 1. Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis:

    • On the graduate scheme, we rotate departments every 6 months so the day-today can vary a lot. I have been in HR, Policy and Comms placements and we are given a lot of responsibility as graduates but can also ask for help when we need it. ENGIE is a big business and there are lots of things going on all the time which we can get involved with.

  • 2. Have you learnt any new skills or developed existing skills?

    • Team working skills - working with different types of people due to moving around Communication skills Presentation skills
