The conference, open to the entire university community, allowed students to learn firsthand about the clean energy projects outlined in the company's 2030 Positive Motion strategy. Jorge Acitores, Luis Travesedo, and Ángel González were responsible for presenting the technical aspect, which served as a prelude to a round table formed by students from various faculties to analyze, from their perspective, how this type of project could impact employment in the province of Huelva in the future. To conclude, four students from the Faculty of Labor Sciences were able to speak before the public with Jose Alfonso Martinez, Human Resources Manager of Energy Parks at Cepsa.
The outcome of the conference has been very positive for the Cepsa representatives, who have highlighted the collaboration between the university and the company to have the opportunity to discuss all these topics with the university community.
In turn, María Jesús Moreno, Dean of the Faculty of Labor Sciences, and Salvador Pérez, director of the School of Engineering at the University of Huelva, highlighted the quality of the information and the successful participation that the conference has had. "Students leave with a very clear idea of how Cepsa manages talent acquisition and the opportunities that will arise in the coming years," emphasized Moreno.
The presentation by Luis Travesedo, director of Hydrogen Projects, focused on the company's strategy regarding hydrogen and green molecules. Jorge Acitores, director of the La Rábida Energy Park, delved into the role that Huelva will have in this strategy, as well as the skills and competencies demanded of the company's workers, emphasizing "commitment, curiosity, and proactivity as fundamental elements in Cepsa's teams." Ángel González, in charge of Optimization and Programming at the Park, explained the challenge of decarbonization and several ongoing projects at the plant, some with a strong emphasis on Huelva.
On the other hand, José Alfonso Martínez Cueto, Human Resources Manager of Cepsa's Energy Parks, detailed Cepsa's talent acquisition policies and described the company's values and how they form the foundation of its Human Resources policies. Among other things, Martínez Cueto reminded the students from Huelva that they are in an ideal time for job hunting. "In a changing environment and with Cepsa embarking on a journey of transformation, we’re going to need, along with all the companies accompanying us on this path, all of your talent to steer the ship."
Detailed information was provided about the internship programs for university students, DevelopingU and WelcomeU, as well as the recruitment program ChallengingU, which were explained to the university students by Cepsa's Human Resources staff at an informational booth during the conference.
