Honored for outstanding commitment to early
career development
Avangrid, Inc. (NYSE: AGR), a leading sustainable energy company
and a member of the Iberdrola Group, announced today that it has
been selected for the 2024 Yello Top 100 Internship Programs List.
Avangrid earned its spot on this competitive list for its
outstanding Internship and Graduate programs.
“While other companies may be scaling down their internship
programs, we are scaling up,” said Pedro Azagra, Avangrid CEO.
“Over the last two years, Avangrid has significantly increased the
number of interns we hire and the conversion rate of those interns
to full-time employees. We accomplished this by prioritizing intern
hires and by expanding full-time opportunities for early career
professionals through formal rotational programs. These programs
are the foundation of how we attract, develop and engage top
talent. I am pleased to see them recognized as among the best in
the country.”
Avangrid’s paid Internship Experience is ten weeks and includes
interactive workshops, networking events and final presentations to
business areas. This year, Avangrid has more than 100 interns
supporting business-critical projects around the company, such as
big data, cybersecurity, smart solutions and renewable expansions.
The experience prepares interns for successful careers by teaching
them practical skills in a structured learning journey, challenging
them with real-world projects, and connecting them with senior
leaders.
Avangrid’s Graduate program is a two-year rotational development
program for early career employees. Participants grow their careers
by continuing the structured learning journey, building connections
with their coworkers and achieving business-critical goals. The
program rotates employees through three to four challenging
assignments both locally and abroad in an Iberdrola Group location.
Upon completion of the program, employees transition into their
permanent roles on their hiring manager’s team. Avangrid currently
has more than 140 Graduates in its workforce.
“This award is a huge honor and a testament to our dedication
and commitment to our early career professionals,” said Anna
Grillo, program manager of early career development at Avangrid.
“I’m proud of the support system we offer our early career
professionals—from when they start as interns to when they graduate
from a formal development program as future leaders or technical
specialists. It is so rewarding to see them applying the skills
they learned and making an impact on Avangrid. I want students to
know that if they choose to work at Avangrid, their development
will be our top priority and the possibilities for their future are
endless.”
Yello's Top 100 Internship Programs List is determined by public
voting and a panel of industry experts who consider many different
aspects of the programs. Yello reports that selection to this
year’s list was particularly competitive due to the hundreds of
program nominations it received.
