LIBERTY GALATI launches its first programme for local graduates 

LIBERTY Galați has just launched its first GRADUATES programme, designed for recent university graduates who want a career in the steel industry and to contribute to the company’s decarbonisation plans. The company is looking for the next generation of leaders and specialists, giving young people from Galati the opportunity to join the company, to learn from LIBERTY Galati mentors and to develop their career in the steel industry.

The 24-month programme will gather 30 recent graduates from Romanian universities and technical schools, aiming to develop them for future managerial roles within the business and encouraging them to contribute to LIBERTY Galati’s transformation to carbon neutrality by 2030. The company is looking for young graduates in the fields of Automation, IT, Electricity, Mechanics, Metallurgy and Finance.

The Graduates program involves 24 months of learning, development, and performance; they will have the chance to work in several areas of the plant for an integrated understanding of the business and will benefit from international development experiences by working at our other European sites too. The programme is divided into three stages: an initial six month period  in which they will learn and develop their skills with LIBERTY mentors; a second six month period in which they will benefit from the support of the company’s specialists, training and practice in specific professional positions; and a final 12 month period, in which they will learn to understand about performance management, career paths, job progress, talent management, 360 feedback and Leadership Academy courses.

“We are very pleased to be launching this new graduate programme which we believe is best in the industry, befitting from our experience worldwide. That’s why we encourage some of the brightest and the best technical graduates to consider careers here at LIBERTY Galati. The programme created by our team in Galati offers young graduates in technical fields the chance to join one of the largest companies in the country to learn, specialise and develop their careers across our companies in Europe. We are very excited to welcome a new generation of leaders who can contribute with innovative ideas and solutions to solve real problems as the industry transform to a low carbon future.”
