Growing at A2A
Building your career journey, every day
When people think about career growth, they often picture a purely vertical career path. At A2A, we believe development is much more than that.
Growth means building new capabilities, gaining experience in different environments, embracing new challenges and continuously broadening your professional expertise. That's why we don't see careers as a one-size-fits-all journey or something that can be mapped out from day one.
Everyone has aspirations, strengths and interests that evolve over time. By giving people the opportunity to shape a personalised career journey, we help them fulfil their potential and discover the opportunities that best match their ambitions.
- Capability development
- Cross-functional experience
- Leadership culture
- Talent management

Continuous learning and capability development
Personalised upskilling and reskilling for a changing world
Developing our people is a strategic priority and an integral part of how we do business.
Trying to define someone's future career path from the outset would be limiting. Joining A2A means having the opportunity to discover different businesses, develop new capabilities and gain experience across the ecological transition, gradually identifying where you can make the greatest contribution and fulfil your potential.
To support professional development, we offer learning programmes and development initiatives tailored to the needs of our different employee communities. These are designed to strengthen technical, organisational and transferable skill as well as management and leadership.
The strength of our approach lies in its flexibility. Everyone can build their own development journey by combining:
- hands-on experience
- digital and classroom learning
- new career opportunities across the Group
At A2A, our key learning areas include:

Internal mobility and cross-functional experience
A rich and dynamic environment in you which career can evolve
Expanding your capabilities and working alongside colleagues with different backgrounds and experiences is one of the most effective ways to keep learning and confidently navigate the changing world of work.
With around 15,000 people and more than 250 professional roles, A2A offers a rich and dynamic environment in which to build your career over time. That's why we encourage a broader view of career development, one that includes internal mobility and lateral growth opportunities, enabling people to broaden their experience while continuing to develop their capabilities.
At A2A, every external vacancy is also available to colleagues across the Group through our internal Job Posting platform. This gives people the opportunity to explore new career paths, apply for different roles, move into another Business Unit or gain experience in a new professional environment.
Leadership culture and mentoring
Growing our people and our business together
Life Manager Evolution is our leadership development programme, designed to strengthen and continuously develop the capabilities of our approximately 1,200 managers. It supports them as their role evolves and helps them create the conditions for their teams to grow and succeed.
Our approach to leadership is built on a simple belief: when our people grow, our business grows too.
That's why mentoring plays a strategic role at A2A. It provides a dedicated space for personal and professional development while creating value across the organisation.
Our network of more than 150 trained mentors supports colleagues through mentoring relationships that bring together diverse experiences from across the Group. These exchanges help people broaden their perspective, strengthen collaboration, develop a more holistic view of the business and build the capabilities that underpin Life&Me, A2A Group's capability model, which brings together three closely connected dimensions with sustainability at its core: Business, Relationships and Self.
Talent management
The individuality and aspirations of our young talent are the driving force behind our transformation journey
We operate in the sectors that will drive transformation in the decades ahead:
- Energy transition
- Smart grids
- Circular economy
- Data centres
- Electrification.
Working at A2A means being part of an ambitious project that aims to shape the future of the ecological transition. Our projects have a positive impact on the future of the area and communities in which we operate.
By developing the capabilities, individuality and aspirations of our talent through dedicated development pathways, we grow together as a collective: a resilient professional community, ready to drive the transformation of society, address the challenges of today and tomorrow, and help improve quality of life for everyone.
Onboarding for new joiners
With Induction A2A, your growth journey begins
Joining A2A is an important and exciting moment but, above all, it marks the beginning of the growth journey for our new colleagues. Our onboarding programme is an important opportunity to get to know the Group and the business context in which we operate. It enables new joiners to discover how the Company works and get to know their colleagues, while beginning to understand how they can express and leverage their capabilities and potential in order to make an active contribution from the very beginning to the challenges facing the Company and the territories where it operates.
The Induction A2A programme provides an introduction to the Group, with deeper insights into topics such as sustainability and inclusion, as well as particularly relevant projects. It continues with a deeper understanding of our businesses and the key capabilities of our Life&Me capability model.
