The GOODYEAR GRADUATE TRAINING PROGRAMME is based on a comprehensive and well-structured Human Resources Development Programme and forms part of the overall strategic business plan of the company.
Graduates who participate in the programme will not only be exposed to a prestigious international company, but will also have the privilege of learning from top professionals with specialist knowledge and skills.
A key objective of the programme is to ensure that Goodyear secures a competitive advantage by attracting young, topflight and dynamic individuals with the correct skills into the organisation. In doing so the company is committed to the creation of a fully supportive environment, which will ultimately ensure the success of graduates who participate in the programme.
