Fosber is an establishment where all individuals are fully respected and judged with open objectivity. Our people are properly rewarded not only for their effective value but also on the effort they make.
The placement in the company of recently graduated university and college students, as well high school leavers, provides the structure and opportunity to define potential career paths. This means within a very brief period of time such individuals can attain a position within the company suited to the subjects they have studied as well as the career path they have chosen to follow. Every year Fosber carries out an annual review where the commitment and effectiveness of each individual in the company is attentively and impartially evaluated.

Training is an extremely important tool in nurturing the individual growth of our personnel. It provides them with the necessary abilities and skills to face and respond to the various professional challenges they will encounter, thus serving the needs of our business.
The training process is focused on three main activities: (a) to continuously support and nurture individual professional growth, (b) to develop the managerial skills of those employees who have been assigned with new responsibilities (c) to ensure that the professional skills and abilities of our people are always fully aligned and synchronised with any changes to the company's strategy, organisation and technological developments.
We continuously invest in training programs and courses, giving priority to those initiatives where the individual himself has identified his own growth with that of the company and is therefore committed and motivated to Investing time and energy in his own potential.

FAQ

1. Do you collaborate with technical and professional institutes?
Yes, we have actually set up a convention with these Institutes which provides for guided tours of our company, the assignment of projects and the carrying out of internships. Every year our company accommodates a high number of students so that they can integrate the theory they have studied with practical experience. We offer our interns the possibility of working within our operating areas under the guidance of internal tutors. If you are interested, ask about this at your college or contact us. See the internship offers.

2. Is there the possibility for undergraduates who intend to graduate/qualify to carry out an internship with you? Yes, we believe that this is an opportunity to enter into the reality of the world of work. We regularly welcome school-leavers/graduates and suggest interesting arguments to them for their theses. We place our premises at their disposal and offer constant support. If you are interested in our proposals send us an application, otherwise send us your research project. It is interesting to know that this initiative has led to the employment of many students. See the internship offers.

14. On what basis are applications selected?
Our recruitment process is quite simple, consisting of interviews with people from different backgrounds and different visions of their work, followed by the notification of the selection outcome.

15. What characteristics does the ideal candidate possess
It is not easy to define them since the individual characteristics sought after vary (sometimes even substantially) from position to position. First of all, we prefer to place young people (this is our main prerogative in the selection process).

Independently of the position to be filled, in each collaborator, we also look for:

  • honesty (upright, well-balanced people who are transparent in their attitudes both with regards to internal and external relations);
  • motivation (willingness to put oneself to the test and constantly improve, people who believe in what we believe in);
  • ambition (we prefer candidates with high expectations rather than those who tend to be satisfied with what they already have);
  • flexibility (in terms of duties, hours, objectives);
  • entrepreneurial spirit (every collaborator must consider themselves an entrepreneur in their field);
  • knowledge of foreign languages (in particular English and Spanish).


Candidates who present for interview in a docile manner, those who do not believe in their abilities/qualities and above all those who do not know how to set themselves medium to long-term objectives are not well received.

16. In the event that an interview does not have a positive outcome do you inform the interviewees? Yes, always. In the event of a negative outcome the personal details obtained are inserted and kept in Fosber database. In this way the candidate in question will be taken into consideration again amongst any other applicants in the event that Fosber is searching for additional personnel with a professional role more in line with the candidate's profile.

17. Who should I refer to for ulterior clarification? If you have any queries you can send us an e-mail to the following address risorseumane@fosber.it, or you could telephone at 0583-3891.

18. How would you define the Fosber company atmosphere? A young, informal and dynamic environment, where relationships, at all levels, are based on reciprocal transparency and honesty. Our principal characteristics are flexibility, team spirit, professionalism and the willingness to constantly change.
