Gain product knowledge and receive broad traininginspiring
“I was looking for an opportunity that would give me the chance to gain product knowledge and receive broad training covering various business segments within a leading, global company. The CYP program certainly fit the bill in both cases. It also gave me the opportunity to meet future team members via networking events, which helped me to quickly integrate into the company and into my position."
