Through the management trainee programme, Essar hires post graduate management students from top ranking business schools throughout India. Trainees are initially hired as a group resource for a range of functions such as marketing, finance, human resources and operations. Essar makes selections between December and February, through a rigorous selection process. Selected candidates then go through a comprehensive one-month induction programme, which includes classroom sessions, an introduction to all the group companies, plants and corporate functions, and a six-day executive leadership camp at the Essar Learning Centre.
Soon after the induction, in an interview with corporate human resources each trainee has the opportunity to discuss mutual expectations, a career map and the group company and assignment that he or she will be posted to. Trainees are confirmed after completing the one-year management trainee programme. Depending on their capabilities, management trainees can usually look forward to a faster career track, an expanded role and eventually, a leadership position within the organisation.
