You’ll then experience a business placement in a field different to your project. After the 12-month program, Trainees will be placed into various functions where they can add immediate value.
Throughout the program, Trainees can also expect regular opportunities to meet with our Global leaders; receive mentorship from previous trainees; collaborate with trainees around the world; and enrol in learning experiences to grow as leaders.
