Futura Trainee 2018
This program has allowed me to know the real world of the industry, knowing in depth an industrial process and the amount of variables on which it depends.
It has helped me to grow as a person, to improve in many personal and professional aspects, to meet new people, new environments and adapt myself to different sorts of situations. With this program I have achieved a great technical knowledge and developed soft skills very useful in the future.
With all the new concepts acquired, after this program I would like to be able to perform effectively in a position in the company where I can continue learning and improving both personally and professionally, helping the company to get better results every day.

Futura Trainee 2018
Entering the Internship Program was definitely the best decision I’ve ever made.
Since the first day I got the opportunity to see how challenging it is to create a “simple” glass bottle or jar - way more than I had ever imagined.
It is an immersive experience inside the glass industry with the best professionals that undoubtedly boosted up not only my professional career but also my personal life. I feel valued and eager to retribute all the support that was given to me.
I really feel like BA gives everyone the perfect tools to grow professionally and personally, all you got to do is give your best and enjoy the ride!

The Futura Program has helped me to develop some soft skills such as problem solving and critical thinking, which are currently essential on a personal and professional level. As a broad engineering training program, it has given me the flexibility to integrate different projects in several areas of work. It was rewarding to step outside my comfort zone on a regular basis, helping me grow as a professional. In addition to the technical knowledge, the friendships and the network created were unique and complemented all the experiences lived throughout the program.
For the future, I hope to integrate a team that keeps on challenging me constantly, make use of the knowledge acquired and contribute with different ideas for the good performance of BA Glass.
