This is followed by a field sales placement to get to know our products and consumers! During the program you will get to work on an individual business project where you will be challenged to apply your problem-solving skills. 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.
