Two 12-month paid internship programs have been launched by ElvalHalcor, enabling a total of 24 young engineers to start their careers at ElvalHalcor's industrial facilities (Elval Aluminum Rolling and Copper and Alloy Extrusion-Halcor). Elval's program entitled "Engineers of tomorrow" and Halcor's program "Bio-Engineering Horizons" started simultaneously in January 2022. The selection of the 24 new engineers was carried out through a meritorious and unchanging selection process that had from the beginning as aimed at selecting talented engineers, who aim for their professional development in a modern and dynamic industrial environment. Especially for the “Engineers of tomorrow” program, the selection process included the participation of the 30 final candidates in a professionally set up and highly demanding simulation center held in December 2021.

Through this process, which included interviews and role exercises and scenario editing (role plays and case studies), the best were selected and invited to participate in the program.

For the "Bio-Engineering Horizons" program, candidates underwent a series of psychometric assessments specially designed for graduates as part of their final selection.

Throughout 2022, the 24 new engineers who were selected and started working with ElvalHalcor (12 engineers in the aluminum rolling sector - Elval and 12 engineers in the copper and alloy extrusion sector - Halcor), will have the opportunity to obtain work high-level experience with practice in real conditions and undertake specialized projects in the individual departments of the factories in order to obtain specialized training according to their educational subject. At the same time, a tailor-made training program has been structured for the "Engineers of tomorrow", which will be implemented throughout their internship. In the same spirit, the "Bio-Engineering Horizons" program is moving, which has already implemented three (3) seminars, having launched at the same time other trainings aimed at the cognitive empowerment of the participants.

On January 17, 2021, the two sectors of ElvalHalcor welcomed the selected young engineers in a small event. During the event/information, the "Engineers of tomorrow" of Elval, as well as the participants of the "Bio-Engineering Horizons" program of Halcor, got to know the mentors and the individual projects, after first being welcomed by the General Managers of two sectors of the Company. They received their equipment and were given a tour of ElvalHalcor's production facilities. Already four months later, everyone has moved on to their projects and has fully integrated into the daily operation of ElvalHalcor.
