Visteon Corporation recently welcomed the first class of its RISE programme, an early career programme offering young engineers a unique opportunity to develop their engineering skills in a dynamic real-time work environment.
“India plays a very important role in developing and advancing technologies such as AI, deep machine learning, and cybersecurity,” said Aashish Bhatia, Vice President and General Manager, Visteon Corporation, India.
He added, 'The team in India has supported us in building best-in-class software and product engineering capabilities to cater to the needs of major automakers across the globe, and we look forward to expanding our workforce here in the years to come.”
These 200 young engineers were onboarded in India, Bulgaria, and Mexico. As part of the RISE programme, participants spend the first month being introduced to Visteon. Subsequently, participants will shadow higher-level engineers, be trained, and work on projects to learn how a product evolves. After training, they will be deployed to projects that are actively building cutting-edge products for global automakers.
The company also signed an MoU with a few colleges—including PSG College of Technology, Coimbatore; Goa College of Engineering; Padre Conceicao College of Engineering and Agnel Institute of Technology and Design to foster more collaboration between business and academia.
Rishi Bhatnagar, Global Talent Acquisition Lead at Visteon Corporation, noted, 'With this initiative, we are positioning Visteon as a company that invests in knowledge, and we believe this is the right path for our sustainable future.”
