Growth
Our trainee program will equip you with all the fundamentals you need to succeed. In addition to developing your leadership skills, you’ll learn to communicate more effectively and perform with greater confidence.
Teamwork
You’ll be assigned a personal mentor from the start. You’ll also be involved in the day-to-day work of our project teams and assume responsibility for your tasks from then on.

Together with your development manager, you design your individual program. Whatever your path looks like – you’ll build up deep knowledge, gain experience, and make contacts for the future.
What would your assignment look like?
See an example. Abiola was a SGP participant at Siemens Mobility from 2020 to 2022.
I was born and raised in Nigeria. After my bachelor’s degree in Akure, Nigeria, I obtained a master’s degree at the prestigious Technical University of Munich, Germany.
In my first assignment, my task was to create a Business Intelligence pipeline to understand the market and competition for a new Siemens business area. This required strategic thinking, strong communication skills, and the ability to create well-considered content. It was very exciting to know that I was part of a team working on future technology. Besides my assignment, I really enjoy participating in and organizing events for SGP participants.
My light-bulb moment during the SGP? Realising that I can leverage on such a huge ecosystem to do what I love in my career.

What to expect from our application process?
At the SGP team, we believe in a thorough and holistic assessment – for us but also for you. This is an important step in your career and we want to give you ample opportunity to understand if the program is the right choice for you. We, on the other hand, want to get to know you, your personality, experience and capabilities. The process has three major steps, with slight country variations, but they all follow the same flow and logic.
CV Screening
A careful review of your resume and supporting documents based on the criteria detailed in the qualification section above. If you meet our basic requirements, you will be invited to the next step.
Initial interview
This initial interview will either take place in person, telephone or live meeting or as a video interview. In some countries we will also invite to an psychometric assessment.
Assessment center
In the last step - the assessment center (virtual or onsite) we can get to know each other. SGP decision-makers will be present, so this is the time for you to show us in various modules that you want to make a difference.
