They will be able to improve their knowledge and skills to build their future career. Schneider Electric will also enable all scholarship beneficiaries to work on the best equipment and development of the most leading-edge software, with a constant mentorship program.
“The most important investment is in the education of future generations. We must always bear in mind that only people with high-quality education will lead the world.
