Just like contacts are essential for our professional development, alliances are crucial in our mission to boost employability. With this in mind, EAE Business School works tirelessly to build bonds with leading companies in different sectors all over the world, just as in the case of the US multinational, Johnson & Johnson.
Recently, Andrea Paz, the Early Talent Acquisition Partner at Johnson & Johnson, ran an online event in which she presented the leading healthcare company’s internship program for 2021. In addition, she emphasized the importance of continuing to strengthen this productive alliance for both institutions.
Before focusing on the company’s internship program, Andrea Paz focused on the Johnson & Johnson’s main business lines and how EAE talent can help the company develop them.
“At Janssen, one of our business lines, we strive to create a world in which diseases are a thing of the past. We develop medicines and focus in areas such as cardiovascular diseases, high blood pressure, neuroscience and oncology. In this branch of the company, innovation is essential, so there are loads of opportunities for anybody with entrepreneurial talent”.
Moreover, Paz explained the company’s line of medical device, designed to help people of all ages with health problems. “This line has a special focus on science and research to make healthcare increasingly effective. We need talent in these disciplines”, she emphasized.
Lastly, the speaker mentioned what she considers to be the company’s most important division: Johnson & Johnson Consumer Goods. “We could say that this is the most popular business line, as it includes the whole range of products that we offer directly to the consumer, such as mouthwash, cotton buds, and many more”, she explained.
Johnson & Johnson is a leader in the healthcare sector at a global level, ranking as one of the most important corporations in the world. EAE Business School, meanwhile, ranks among the top business schools in Spain and Europe. As a result, this alliance between the two institutions not only generates a constant flow of knowledge, but also a large range of professional opportunities.
Paz then went on to give a detailed overview of all aspects of the company’s internship program. “We have around 80 internships throughout the year in Spain. There is no specific start date because, rather than being a closed program, it adapts to the company’s needs are any given time. Therefore, internships may be offered during any month”, she added.
She continued by emphasizing that the internships range from very scientific areas, more related to the Janssen division, right through to more analytical internships, linked to the marketing area in Johnson & Johnson Consumer Goods. There are lots of different areas, so there are opportunities for almost any professional career.
After outlining the main parameters of the internship program, the event concluded with a question and answer session to clear up any doubts that the students connected may have.
Is it possible to do a part-time internship?
No, all the internships that we offer are full time.
Do we need any type of experience to apply for these internships?
If you have worked for two years in finance, for instance, you will already have acquired competences in this areas, so an internship position would not be ideal for you. Therefore, the less experience, the better.
Is it a plus point if we are able to move abroad?
In principle, the internships run in Spain start and end here. However, there are other international programs explained on our website.
Do we need a certificate that accredits our level of English?
No, in theory it is not necessary. However, during the selection process, there may be some type of English test.
Are all the internships in Spain?
Johnson & Johnson offers programs throughout Europe in countries such as Italy and France.
Which departments does this internship program focus on specifically?
There are lots of opportunities, particularly in the areas of marketing, business intelligence, digital marketing, finance, accounting, human resources, legal, corporate social responsibility and many more.
Should our CV be in Spanish or English?
We suggest submitting your CV in English because the selection processes are the same in every country, so we recommend drafting it in English.
When do the internships start?
This program is scheduled for 2021 and there will be various times throughout the year that interns can join the company, depending on its need. It is important to keep your eyes open for the offers!
