Through “Sell It,” Prysmian Group hopes to discover and develop the best sales and marketing talents by offering them the opportunity to make full use of their skills and expertise.

“Sell It” offers access to a global industry-leading company and the opportunity to work on the most cutting-edge engineering and infrastructure projects in the world.
“‘Sell It’ is further proof of Prysmian’s focus on training and developing young talents,”says Fabrizio Rutschmann, HR & Organization SVP of Prysmian Group. “Developing human capital is key to our company’s long-term success, in addition to being a part of the Group’s history and philosophy. This is the first time that we have launched a recruitment and development program dedicated to professionals in this field, and I am certain that Prysmian’s strength and the important international projects we complete with our many partners will prove a concrete factor that ensures the interest of the candidates to whom we reach out. Our ability to grow on the markets is deeply rooted in the quality of our sales and marketing team.”
In addition to “Sell It,” the Group’s recruitment and training initiatives include “Make It” and “Build the future.” The ”Make It” program is the top-training scheme aimed at engineers and technical staff with plant experience in the manufacturing sector. “Build the future” is aimed at selecting new graduates and training them for junior management or specialist roles in the technical area through a three-year program.
