Schneider Electric emphasises large-scale training and development by facilitating cross-border employee exchanges within its organisation.
The company’s international training programmes are designed to increase its employees’ professional growth and development, promote a culture of learning and diversity, and establish a deeper understanding of the organisation’s latest products and services.

The areas of study for the candidates are also based on the needs of the local market, and the most recent exchange programme focused on upskilling employees on variable speed drives (VSDs) and the entire system associated with this technology. The training programme was open to all full-time employees of Schneider Electric South Africa who held an electrical/ electronic engineering background and displayed the right drive and talent.
Product application engineers, Bonang Lephole and Renaldo Petersen, were selected this year and successfully completed the eight-month long training programme, which took place in both France and Austria.

During the intensive training programme, led by Schneider Electric’s top product managers and engineers, the two were taken through both the marketing and technology of VSDs, allowing them to now either become product managers or product application engineers.
“Our employee development programmes are built around two core principles: the first is the importance of innovation and the second is our focus on continuously training and educating our people,” says Eric Léger, country president for southern Africa at Schneider Electric South Africa. “We encourage our employees to develop strong ties with their international counterparts, with the aim to assist in deploying new technologies to our clients. One of Schneider Electric South Africa’s key advantages is its ability to provide clients with global energy management and industrial automation solutions and expertise.”
