Gaining in-depth automotive knowledge and developing soft skills
Renault Group’s graduate programs include three job rotations across different positions over a period of two to five years, depending on the chosen program. They combine hands-on learning, a personalized mentoring scheme and a training plan designed to develop both technical and soft skills. Various events are also organized to help new recruits build their professional networks.
“After completing my final-year internship at the Flins plant as part of the mechatronics remanufacturing team, I joined the graduate program in circular economy and decarbonization in September 2023. I completed three rotations, both in the factory and in central services, and since November 2025, I have been an Industrial Projects and Electrical Infrastructure Engineer for the ElectriCity division’s plants. I am responsible for overseeing all projects that impact the electrical infrastructure at the Douai, Maubeuge, and Ruitz sites. This program enabled me to develop an in-depth understanding of the company and build a network much faster than I would have without this experience. It’s a real added value that I see every day in my current role.”
