Familiarising interns with the energy sector
Our internship program that is promoted as an employer branding activity is called ‘Ibiza’, short for ‘Ipragaz Business Academy’.
Each employee could take part in one of four available workshops in creativity, personal efficiency, troubleshooting and effective presentation. Workshop classes were conducted in small groups (a maximum of 10-15 people), and classes were conducted by qualified coaches from the well-recognised company Dale Carnegie Training.
Great participation rate and a positive impact
As of 2017, the programme continues to be a success – nearly 60% of employees have taken part across three editions, with more applicants than places available. Participants have broadened their skills and gained new knowledge. Just as importantly, they have had the opportunity to meet colleagues from other locations to connect and exchange experiences. The overall evaluation of the workshops has also been very good, and many of our managers have seen a positive impact in employee development, which makes for better business.
It’s a great example of how employee development helps not only the participants themselves, but the company as a whole.
