Capability Acceleration Program

Capability Acceleration Program (CAP) is part of our long-term strategy to promote Flextronics as an employer of choice. It provides holistic and intensive learning programs that combine instructor-led, on-the-job and self-paced learning methodologies. The programs are designed by our subject matter experts in collaboration with premier educational institutions and global learning organizations.

The CAP initiative currently addresses three critical core manufacturing disciplines: surface mount technology (SMT), plastics and test engineering. It also provides five critical functional disciplines that support manufacturing: project management, industrial engineering, quality, program management and supply chain management. Other functional disciplines include human resources and business development. The CAP architecture has evolved into a learning pyramid with four levels of development: fundamental, intermediate, advanced and expert. These levels enable capability acceleration through phased development of the participants, subject to exemplary job performance and successful completion of the program.

New Employee Experience

The New Employee Experience (NEE) program is a global initiative designed to energize, inspire and motivate the newest members of the Flextronics family. The program starts with an initial induction and "buddy" program that spans one to three months, during which time each new employee works with a veteran employee to learn the processes and procedures needed to effectively perform their new role at Flextronics.
