What does growth actually look like at Schneider Electric — especially early in your career? Briggs Cecil joined as an intern, not entirely sure where he fit or what path he’d take. Less than two years later, he’s part of Schneider's Development Programs — working across teams, taking on real responsibility, and preparing to run his first Boston Marathon 🏃♂️ His experience highlights something we hear often from early-career employees: growth here isn’t linear. It builds through new roles, stretch opportunities, and learning to navigate ambiguity along the way. If you’re early in your career, or just thinking about how growth really happens over time, Briggs’ journey offers a glimpse of what’s possible.
