Leadership development programs
Looking to grow professionally and personally, gain hands-on experience and make a positive impact around the world? You’ve come to the right place.
Our leadership development programs (LDPs) help university students get practical, real-world business experience. At the same time, you’ll develop leadership and communication skills and broaden your understanding of concepts related to your function.
Our LDPs empower you to demonstrate your passion and potential in areas like:
- Finance
- Human Resources
- Commercial
- International Recruitment and Development
- Marketing
- Procurement
- Research and Development (R&D)
- Supply Chain and Operations
- Technology
Whether you’re an undergraduate, master’s or MBA student, when you apply for the overall LDP program in your area of interest, you’ll become eligible for one of the many slots available in that field. And when you join our team, you won’t just be working on major assignments—you’ll also have the support you need in order to succeed. All of our programs include training and mentorship as a core part of the experience.
