LARGEST AGE GAP
Mercuria believes that paths to success do not
necessarily all start with a college degree. Another key entrance to our industry is through apprenticeships, an age old, but newly refreshed way to
gain knowledge and skills through practical experience and learning that puts people into the positions rather than taking a theoretical approach.
In the summer of 2015, US officials signed a joint
declaration of intent with Switzerland to collaborate on an apprentice program. At the same time,
over 20 Swiss companies agreed to bring and/or
expand their robust model of apprenticeship to
their United States facilities. Mercuria is proud to
be one of these partners.

Mercuria offers trainee positions of 6 months for
students ending their Masters within the EPFL
institution. The EPFL is a research institute and
University specialized in natural sciences and engineering. During their internships, the interns are
assigned a project that will be the subject of their
Master Thesis. The objective of a Master Project
is to carry out a project in a challenging, innovative and fast pace professional environment.
Our students will put into practice the methodological and technical competencies acquired
during their studies and show their ability to work
independently. The internship / master project offers students professional work experience and
the opportunity to familiarize themselves with the
way our Company operates, including insights
into our main processes.
