What is the Operations Talent Program?
The Operations Talent Program (OTP) is a graduate program designed for brilliant new graduates to accelerate their growth toward dynamic career opportunities within Essilor Luxottica’s Global Operations.
The program is held in different Operations Hubs: France (Cretéil, southeast of Paris), Italy (Agordo), USA (Atlanta), Thailand (Rayong), Mexico (Mexico City) and Brazil (San Paolo, Campinas, Sumarè, Manaus) and will last a total of 2 years. You will be assigned to a specific hub based on your interests, qualifications as well as business requirements (specific roles are located differently among Italy and France). 
You will start in November 2024 and over the two years of the program you will deeply explore the expansive world of operations, learn a range of industry topics and experience the industrial environment where technology, innovation and product-passion sit center-stage. After the 2 years of program in the hiring country, you will have the chance to move abroad with an international assignment. 

How is it structured?
From day-1 you will be assigned to one of the Operations Functions (such as Engineering, Manufacturing, Supply Chain & Logistics, R&D, Sourcing, Quality, New Product Introduction) while alongside being involved in different training activities. After one year you will have a job rotation within the same function, which will give you the chance to expand your vision and learn from different areas, acquire new technical knowledge, and be guided by inspiring leaders. 
To boost your professional growth, the on-the-job development will be integrated with a training path on different topics. You will begin with the Academy which will take the first six months and will give the big picture of the Operations while lying the groundwork for the following months of learning. During this period, you will be facilitated to get engaged with the program and the Company, while creating a strong community made up by bold relationships with the other trainees. You will then deepen various management topics with a top-notch European Business School which will foster the development of key strategic skills for a career inside the Operations. Lastly, it will be time to apply your knowledge with an individual Project Work, an opportunity to work on an innovative project and present it to Leaders. 
 

How does the selection process work? 
To apply, complete the online application as soon as possible. You may choose between Agordo (Belluno, Italy) or Créteil (Paris, France) based on your preference. Please note that your specific starting location will also depend on your fit with different roles. If your profile meets the eligibility criteria, you'll be invited to complete an online individual assessment that evaluates various elements of your personality, cognitive abilities, and command of English (if not native).
Successful applicants will proceed to an online interview with our Talent Acquisition experts. Advancing further, you'll participate in an online group assessment, working on a real business case. Top performers will then meet our business leaders, first virtually and then on-site, for a challenging final round. The application will close by the 30st of September.
