The Ferrari F1 Engineering Academy was established in 2015 and every year it selects outstanding engineers from some of the best universities in the world to come and work in Maranello. Here, some of the people involved explain how, in Formula 1, innovation, the continual pursuit of improvement, along with diversity of background and gender, can translate into an opportunity for the whole team to grow.
:: Episode 2 – The Selection Process
We continue our look at the Ferrari F1 Engineering Academy. In the second episode, the selection process is revisited by those selected and those making the selection. The process starts at the universities involved in the project. After tests and interviews, assessing hard and soft skills, the best candidates then spend six months on work experience within the Scuderia.
:: Episode 3 – Learning and Mentoring
In the third episode of our series on the Ferrari F1 Engineering Academy, the tutors and their charges talk about what life has been like as part of this project.
Doing one’s very best and interacting within the group leads to growth on both a professional and a human level.
In the final episode of our series on the Ferrari F1 Engineering Academy, former students recount what it was like going from being an intern to an employee.
