Learning and development opportunities during the program
Functional learning
on the job
In every rotation you’ll be part of
a team. You direct manager and
team members will support your
learning by introducing you to the
role by explaining the tasks and
responsibilities. This demonstrates
Eaton as a learning organization.
We have a culture where everybody
is encouraged to ask questions,
everybody is willing to teach what
they know, and happy to support the
integration of the newcomers
and colleagues.
Cross functional
projects
You can develop new skills
and knowledge inside
or outside of your direct
function by joining one of our Stretch
Assignment Marketplace projects
that enables groups of employees
with diverse sets of skills to work on
solving key business challenges. We
also encourage the participants to get
involved in our Inclusion & Diversity
employee resource groups so they
can create projects and events to
make Eaton a more inclusive place.
Leadership learning
series
Besides on the job training and
learning, Eaton has designed a global
Early Talent LDP learning series. These
sessions have been developed to
build the core foundational building
blocks for critical leadership skills
to better prepare our LDP talent for
their future. During the program you
will attend 20 virtually led training
sessions covering topics such as:
• Developing leadership competencies
such as feedback, critical thinking and
coaching
• Improving personal skills such
as emotional intelligence, career
management skills or presentation skills
• Business acumen and mindset
EATON Early talent leadership development program brochure February 2023
Early talent
conference
Once a year we organize an Early
Talent LDP Conference. The aim of
the conference is to create dialogue
among participants and senior
leaders around topics which matter
to us the most. During the 3-day
conference participants directly
engage and discuss with top
leadership on various topics such as
sustainability, leadership, inclusion
and diversity and many more.

Your future at Eaton
What happens after
the program?
We hire the best talent for the program who we
believe will succeed long term at Eaton. Our aim
is to retain all participants after the program,
given they have performed well in their roles.
How do we find final
roles for participants?
During the last rotation, participants will have
frequent career discussions with leaders.
Following those conversations businesses
will propose a final job or jobs. Furthermore,
participants can apply online for final jobs via our
internal job portal. This closely monitored process
has proven very successful within Eaton. Our
retention rate in the program is : Since 2017 we
have retained 77,34% right after the program.
We are looking for geographically mobile talents,
as we can’t guarantee that in certain countries or
locations, we will have an open position. The more
mobile a talent is, the easier it will be to secure a
final role after the program.
EATON Early talent leadership development program brochure February 2023
How would someone become
a leader after the program?
The more you invest in your development the
more you can achieve. There have been a variety of
different career journeys for participants who have
finished the program. We have had participants
accept junior positions and managerial roles. We
provide a lot of opportunities for participants to
learn and grow via the job rotations, extensive
learning curriculum and exposure to our senior
leaders. Being agile and curious means that you
can contribute at Eaton.

Recruitment Process - FAQ
What’s the interview set-up?
The interviews will take place online using Microsoft Teams. Please make sure
you have a stable internet connection, camera and headset available. We suggest
that you use Wi-Fi and a computer for the interviews. It is also recommended that
you have a mobile phone (with data available) in case of any sudden bandwidth
challenges with your internet.
You will receive invitation(s) from our HR Services Team with the login
instructions on how to join prior to the interviews.

What kind of interviews should I expect?

During the last round of interviews, you will have a chance to converse with the
assignment managers and local Human Resources leaders. We suggest that you
prepare your questions in advance for this audience. This will be the moment
where we will discuss in detail; the actual roles, business environment, business
challenges and where our roles are located.
The interviews will be approximately 45-60 minutes long, and besides general
introductions the interviewers will ask in-depth questions. We typically will have
one interview which aims to get to know better your technical background and
knowledge through previous experiences. The second interview will be to hear
more about your competencies and leadership skills experience.

I’m interested in more than one role or starting location.

What should I do?
In each interview we are considering the participants application for the role or
location to which you applied. If you are interested in other roles and you are
flexible about starting locations, please emphasize this during the interviews. The
interview panel will take this into consideration when making decisions about
final offers to the best candidates. You can find all open roles within the EMEA
region on our website (link).

When will I know about the result of the interviews?

We will aim to reach out to all participants after the interviews within 1-3 weeks.
In some cases, we might have a final interview round with a senior leader who
wants to meet and get to know the top candidates.
