Alstom, a leading global entity in the realm of smart and sustainable mobility, announced the launch of its prestigious Young Engineering Graduate Program (YEGP) for the year 2023. The key aim of the initiative is to recruit a whopping 700 young graduate engineers from India within the upcoming two months, marking this as the most extensive intake in the country under this program.
Commitment to Diversity and Expansion of YEGP
Since its inception in 2015, YEGP has been a pivotal part of Alstom’s recruitment strategy in India, designed to nurture fresh engineering talent to cater to both national and international business demands. The new recruitment drive focuses on gender and regional diversity, with 58% of the hires being women engineers.
Moreover, the selection spans 54 universities across 26 states, from the far-reaching Northeastern states to Gujarat and from Jammu & Kashmir to Kerala, maintaining Alstom’s promise of regional inclusivity.

In-depth Training and Role Allocation
The 14-day YEGP focuses on delivering an immersive and engaging experience to all participants. They will gain an in-depth understanding of Alstom’s business, operations, and functions through interactions with the leadership team.
