The Essar group prides itself on using global-scale, world-class technology in all its companies. To maintain our technical edge, the group hires engineer trainees annually between August and January. Essar hires graduate engineer trainees (GETs) from the IITs and the top-ranking regional engineering colleges across the country, and diploma engineer trainees (DETs) from the best polytechnics in Gujarat, Andhra Pradesh and Tamil Nadu and other regions of the countries to source the best talent available. These trainees are hired for specific group companies. After they are selected, they go through an induction programme at the company, which includes classroom sessions and plant visits. Soon afterwards, each trainee has an interview with the Essar Learning Centre head, to discuss his or her immediate placement and future growth prospects. Trainees are confirmed after a one-year training programme for GETs and a two-year programme for DETs. Depending on their capabilities, both GETs and DETs can look forward to increasing their technological expertise, a growing technical specialisation and key senior operational and technical roles within the company.
