| What do I like about the IMI Global Graduate Programme? |
| I like the GGD program because it is what I have always wanted: a fast track development programme in an international setting. I get the opportunity to experience four different platforms within the IMI group, four different countries and four different business cultures. Within those four placements I can choose entirely different positions so that I can target different areas to improve myself in. The positions I have chosen are diverse and I have learned a great deal from operating in those different business settings. |
