  • 2. Have you learnt any new skills or developed existing skills?
  • Since commencing my employment at Mondelez International i have developed immensely in a range of skills such as interpersonal savvy as i have een interacting with colleagues across the globe and meeting different people from different functions within the business. Furthermore, i have developed in skills such as dealing with ambiguity as i have dealt with many unknown situations and tasks and figured out how to do things as i went along. This has been a great learning expereince for me as i was not used to doing things in this way before.

  • 5. How well organised/structured is your programme?
  • As we are the first year of school leavers at Mondelez International, it has been a learning curve for all!! However, overall i could not fault the structure of the programme. We have a good amount of study time of work to enable us to complete some of our study during the week and ensure we still have a work/life balance. We also get great support from managers and other colleagues within the business using their expertise to help us in some of the topic areas!!
