About the unit
Yara is opening up for summer internships in 2017 and is looking for new enthusiastic talents to join some of our exciting projects. One student will be given the opportunity to spend 6 weeks within Talent & Leadership, ideally starting beginning / mid June 2017.
Talent & Leadership is one of three Centers of Expertise in Corporate HR. The small unit with its 5 employees is responsible for the philosophy, framework and governance structure for Talent Acquisition (Employer Branding, Recruitment, Onboarding), Talent Management (Performance Management, Succession Planning), Leadership Development and Learning.
Having recently changed the organizational set-up of HR globally, we are currently evaluating the best way how to share policies, guidelines, useful templates and other interesting material with all HR Professionals around the world. In addition, we are reviewing the content on our Learning platform.
We believe that these two projects would provide a useful learning experience for a student.
