CEPSA: CEPSA BOOSTS TALENT ATTRACTION TO DRIVE ITS NEW STRATEGY

Cepsa is starting two talent recruitment programs aimed at continuously reinforcing its workforce to move forward with its goal of leading the mobility and sustainable energy market, within the framework of its ‘Positive Motion’ strategic plan. The company is launching the sixth edition of ‘Challenging U’, its program for university graduates, and ‘Impulsa FP’, a pioneering program to Formación Profesional Superior graduates.

“We are looking forward to taking on the challenges before us in order to become a leading company in the energy transition. To create value and help develop a better world for all, we need to surround ourselves with the best talent. In addition, we continue to focus on diverse talent as a key springboard to boost our competitiveness and promote equality and diversity in our workforce”.

Both programs will offer participants the possibility of collaborating with different Cepsa professionals, whose extensive experience will help them develop their skills and knowledge, providing them with a competitive edge in their future career.

‘Challenging U’

The sixth edition of this program, one of the most attractive in Spain for recent graduates, allows young people to boost their careers in a leading energy sector company. This year, the selected participants will start developing their professional career at Cepsa with a permanent contract, as well as attractive social benefits, while continuing their training through a master’s degree at the Escuela de Organización Industrial (EOI), one of the best business schools in Spain.

Since this initiative was launched, framed within the company’s ‘Talent Call’ program aimed at attracting, developing and retaining young talent, 174 young people have participated. To take part, Cepsa values that the candidates have international experience and a good academic record in different degrees such as Law, Economics, Business Administration and Management, Communication or different Engineering, to carry out internships in corporate, commercial and industrial areas of the company.

Cepsa, recognized as one of the best companies to work for in Spain by the Top Employers Institute, is strongly committed to empowering female talent and, in line with the goal that was already implemented in the 2021 edition of the Challenging U program, will ensure that 70% of participants are women. Likewise, with the aim of promoting inclusion, the company has increased the percentage of people with disabilities who will join the program to 5%.

‘Impulsa FP’

On the other hand, Cepsa has designed an innovative program to recruit Formación Profesional Superior graduates called ‘Impulsa FP’. In its first edition, those selected will have a permanent employment contract, as well as a competitive value proposition: economic/social benefits, parking, canteen, etc.

The company offers this opportunity to recent graduates in Formación Profesional Superior in various fields such as Chemistry, Installation and Maintenance, Mechanics, Administration and Finance or Marketing; to cover the needs of both the company’s business units (Mobility & New Commerce, Commercial & Clean Energies, Energy Parks, Chemistry and ESG), and its corporate areas (Economic-Financial, Communication, HR, etc.).

Cepsa strives for equal opportunities, identifying and developing the full potential of people based exclusively on their abilities to perform their duties.
