We adapt our recruitment methods to be done online and we hope to succeed again this year in attracting young people to our program who want to learn the trade of plumber and build a career path in an experienced company. Thus, we count on having 50 students enrolled in the next school year, eager to learn the secrets of a profession of the future, ”said Eric Stab, President & CEO of ENGIE Romania.
