programs are designed to provide a pool of
upcoming talent on a long-term basis. One
example is the new talent support program
(NFP) open to qualified high school graduates.
This gives them an opportunity to combine
professional training at BMW with a college
education.
The “Fast Lane” program launched in 2000
is open to qualified students who have completed
their fourth semester of college. Fast Lane
participants are assigned to special mentors.
This helps recruit dedicated students who
completed an internship at BMW into permanent
positions with the company.
Cooperation with local universities is of
central importance to the BMW Group.The BMW
plant in Spartanburg USA donated $1 million
to the University of South Carolina to sponsor
students in the Masters of International Business
program. Other partnerships with regional
universities include scholarships, employee
memberships, and teaching contracts for BMW
employee training programs.
