Our graduates are supported by key stakeholders in the programme and will be mentored by a senior leader who would support your development, understanding of and integration into the business.

We encourage you to be yourself, be interested in the business and the world we operate in, be technically competent and show a desire to learn, develop and grow in your field and career, as well as be an agent in supporting the changes that will enable our business to be a continuing success.
You have the power to push boundaries. From small innovations to entering new markets, you’ll have the opportunity to inspire yourself and others.
So take the lead. Be creative and curious!
