ENRICH OUR TEAMS

With a desire to refresh, innovate and inspire, Michelin North America’s Strategic University Initiative is a visionary plan to grow and nurture strategic partnerships with colleges, universities and collegiate level professional organizations. Shifting from ad hoc interactions with colleges and universities to more intentional long-term relationships based on mutual vision will result in securing access to top talent across the career spectrum. In 2023, the team spent a large portion of their time evaluating schools based on student demographics for inclusive representation and rankings by program, location, engineering strength, faculty research, facilities and willingness to work collaboratively. The team selected five universities and established KPIs to measure how well Michelin is maximizing the value of these relationships, including student touchpoints, offers, hires, prospects, projects, board memberships, product development contributions and connections. This initiative helps Michelin to drive technology research and development, create broader business ecosystems, and elevate learning and development opportunities for our employees.
