Specifically designed for individuals with educational backgrounds in university degrees such as chemistry, biology, food science and technology, biochemistry, biotechnology, pharmacy, nutrition and dietetics, biological analysis, laboratory diagnostics, environmental sciences, among others…
Program Objective
The program aims to connect university students and recent graduates with high potential to interesting career paths suitable for their profiles. It provides them with high-level training in management skills and soft skills, along with an opportunity to start a professional career focused on technical positions within the company.
Program Activities
The program is open to final-year undergraduate or master’s students with education related to chemistry, biology, food science and technology, biochemistry, biotechnology, pharmacy, nutrition and dietetics, biological analysis, laboratory diagnostics, among others. The pre-registration deadline is February 5, 2024.
Due to the limited number of positions (14 scholarship positions), a selection process will be conducted among interested students.
Preselected individuals will participate on February 15, from 17:00 to 20:00, at the Faculty of Business in the intensive event “Industrial Opportunity Day.” This event will allow them to get to know the company better and engage in various activities and dynamics, providing a unique experience in a high-performance talent search process.
The company’s departmental areas seeking talent are:
DEPARTMENT | VACANCIES | AREA | START |

After this first phase, preselected individuals will be called for the second selection phase during the second half of February at the company’s facilities to participate in specific activities and selection interviews.
In addition to professional experience, the Industrial Opportunity Day initiative includes intensive training in “soft skills” and management skills. Participants will learn, in a completely practical way, to improve core skills for their professional careers, such as effective communication, leadership, teamwork, decision-making, among others. The sessions will be in-person and experiential, taking place during an intensive weekend at the TENT Hotel in Granada. They will be conducted by professional coaches with extensive experience in this field.
During the training sessions, breaks and socialization times are planned to facilitate participants getting to know each other, exchanging opinions, and building connections. The program also provides some meals and coffee breaks where participants can form a support network in a relaxed environment, contributing to a successful professional integration.
After the selection and training period, the program offers participants a professional career plan that begins with a scholarship to join Lactalis Puleva. Participants will join the company’s Granada headquarters, and they need to have the means to travel to the company’s facilities. The scholarships will last for 6 months with a schedule from 9 am to 2 pm, Monday to Friday, and a monthly compensation of 450 euros.
