The Industrial Opportunity Day initiative includes, in addition to the professional experience, intensive training in soft skills and management abilities where 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. All sessions will be in-person and experiential, taking place over an intensive weekend at the Hotel Turia in Granada, and will be led by professional coaches with extensive experience in this field.

Socialization Time

During the training sessions, breaks and socialization times have been scheduled with the express purpose of helping participants get to know each other better, exchange ideas, and build relationships. Additionally, the program provides some meals and coffee breaks where, in a relaxed atmosphere, participants can form a support network that will help them achieve a successful professional integration.

Training Scholarships

After the selection and training period, the program offers participants a career plan that begins with a scholarship to join Lactalis Puleva.
