Go Green in the City provides you the opportunity to not only learn about Schneider Electric, but also to experience our work culture firsthand. Experience the life of a Schneider Electric employee during the final event in Paris at the Schneider Electric headquarters, which is affectionately referred to as “Le Hive”.
As a semi-finalist, use this opportunity to interact and start building your network with our business leaders and employee mentors.

Mentorship
Go Green in the City’s mentorship phase, for competitors who advance to the semi-finals, is not only a unique opportunity to benefit from the expertise of Schneider Electric employees but also to gain insight into our corporate culture and extend your professional network.
Here is what former participants say about the GGitC 2014 and GGitC 2015 mentorship:
“Schneider Electric is the best place to work. Our mentor made us realize that through the most intellectually stimulating discussions I have ever had.”
“Our mentor is amazing and I learnt more about business case with him than I learned at college. I have no words about how amazing he is.”
“Prior to this competition I had not seriously considered SE as a potential employer fit for me. But after the whole experience with the competition, I have changed my mind. And 99% of the credit for my change of mind goes to my mentor!”
Go Green Champs
On April 1, 2016 Schneider Electric will select the Go Green Champs — the three teams that have the highest total score for the completed quizzes.
As a Go Green Champ, you could win a 30-minute Skype session with one of the previous years’ winners! Competition organizers reserve the right to determine the nature of the reward at their sole discretion.
The Go Green Champs will be published on Go Green in the City social media channels – so make sure to follow us!

3 teams with the highest number of recommendations collected on the Public Team page will win a 30-minute Skype session with a Schneider Electric mentor to give them guidance on preparing their case solution. Competition organizers reserve the right to alter the nature of the reward without prior notice.
The Final Event
The final event promises to be an extremely rewarding experience. Four action-packed days of business workshops, networking events, city tours, presentations and lots more. In a culturally rich and engaging environment, students get to interact with Schneider Electric employees and top management, build a strong and lasting professional and personal network, learn about the business from experts and at the same time develop key skills through various workshops and activities. And if that is not enough, there is always the glamour of the City of Lights that beckons you!
