From the Community: Why this Nominee Stands Out

“Jenna Roland, Campus & Early Career Engagement Manager at Schneider Electric, is a standout Talent Innovator reshaping how Gen Z connects with purpose-driven careers. With over 17 years of experience in Talent Acquisition, Jenna combines deep industry expertise with forward-thinking, community-centric strategies.

Jenna leads high-impact programs like Schneider’s Go Green student challenge and a robust summer internship program that includes over 1,000 interns across North America. She champions a strategic focus on talent retention, with a goal of converting at least 40% of interns into full-time team members.

Under Jenna’s leadership, our interns gain more than just experience - they dive into real-world opportunities, build lasting connections, shape their career visions, and sharpen the skills that set them up for success. Her signature initiative, the "Intern Summer Series" seamlessly integrates virtual learning, live engagement with company leaders, and on-site experiences - bridging digital fluency with authentic human connection.

A working mom of three and advocate for wellbeing and work/life balance, Jenna leads with heart, strategy, and purpose - closing the gap between traditional recruiting and the future of talent engagement.”
