The ABB Discovery Early Talent Program is a two-year rotational program that is designed to develop your skills and grow you as a future leader of ABB. Participants can expect to gain an array of challenging and meaningful work experiences in their rotations across ABB in the US.
ABB Discovery participants start their careers with their peers, as a cohort. Each cohort starts annually in July and joins with a comprehensive orientation that helps assimilate you into the ABB culture smoothly.
After orientation, you will join your first rotation in one of our four business areas – Electrification, Motion, Process Automation or Robotics. Every rotation is composed of impactful work to help build your skills and gain business knowledge, while contributing to your team.
Our program also supports your professional growth outside of your rotation, through global and US professional development, networking, and social activities. These events will be facilitated by your dedicated program manager that will coach you throughout your journey.
At the end of your third rotation, you will be given a capstone project that provides solutions to real business problems. The capstone presentation will be a culmination of your rotations before you roll off into a permanent position that complements your skills and experiences.
