Do you have what it takes to become a leader? The Excellerate program is an 18-month-long development program for potential Ericsson leaders. It takes you through various dimensions of the company’s operations while developing the skills and academic knowledge you need to be a world-class manager. The program has been around since 1999.
The three main sections of the program are:

Job rotation – There are three job rotations of about six months each where you will gain practical experience in how Ericsson works. One of these will, preferably, involve customer contact and will be in a different country. Where you end up depends on personal development discussions with your home organization. You will be given feedback and evaluation on your performance during these job rotations.
Learning modules – All participants get together once every three months during the 18-month period, for learning modules of about seven to ten days. Here, the focus is on the way the industry is changing, getting a global understanding of Ericsson, and covering areas such as business skills, communication skills, leadership and personal development, and self-learning.

 

Mentoring – You will get a mentor from management, and a "buddy" from the Excellerate alumni.

The program provides challenging and rewarding opportunities and you will be empowered and expected to contribute in an innovative environment. You will get the chance to develop customer contacts and experience Ericsson from a global perspective as you will live and work in different countries. You will not only be able to follow an international career path, but also get to work for a company which recognizes the importance of personal development.

Ericsson is looking for determined, talented individuals, who will be able to take us forward in the world of communications. If you take the initiative to enhance your career through consistent performance, you could be the one Ericsson is looking for. To become a leader you must be prepared to meet and overcome challenges and break new ground.
