About Our Global IGNITE Graduate Program
United States, Japan, Italy, Germany, China…DENSO has facilities in 38 countries and regions around the world. And, we want to send you there!
The IGNITE Graduate Program is a two-year trainee program that gives entry-level candidates a chance to travel and gain a broad view of DENSO’s business and operations at an early stage in their career. Our program includes multiple assignment opportunities throughout your home country, regionally and internationally.
How It Works
During the two-year program, you’ll experience different teams, cultures and projects, while gaining a strong understanding of our company and global operations. Your assignments will be defined based on your specific field and will aim to broaden your technical competence. We’ll provide at least one overseas assignment to expand your understanding of the global marketplace.
We want you to be immersed in our company culture. To accomplish this, we’ll send you on a three-month assignment at our headquarters in Japan. You’ll get the chance to experience our company’s origins first-hand while creating a personal network with colleagues in Japan, who you’ll continue to work with in your future career with our organization.
