Corporate practices: BSH Spain commits to pushing local young talent into the international arena

The Spanish subsidiary of the Bosch and Siemens Home Appliances Group (BSH) is determined to identify promising recent graduates at the local level and to expand their skills and competencies for an international-scale career boost within the German Group. For this to be realized, the company has implemented the "Spanish Trainee Program" aiming to prepare these identified talents and give them their best chance of being spotted and taking part in the group's highly selective International Trainee Program.

BSH Group relies on a competitive “International Trainee Program” targeted at recent graduates to attract and retain young star performers. Young people who aspire to make a career at BSH—and who have above-average grades, international mobility, and language and intercultural skills—compete at the international level to join this program. This program has become a tradition for the German Group. The “Spanish Trainee Program” designed by BSH Spain represents an expansion of the group’s international program at the national scale. Two years ago, the Spanish subsidiary implemented this program with the aim of attracting local talent to careers within BSH and empowering successful candidates to enter the international program.

It had been noted that few bright young local people had the German language skills required to participate in the international program.
