The programme has been designed to ensure graduates gain the skills and expertise needed to succeed in the sector and to develop their own career paths in agri-food – whether their interests lie in product development, marketing, finace or any number of other areas – there is a range of stimulating opportunities.”
Through the programme, successful applicants are also expected to gain skills in team leadership, personal effectiveness, financial awareness and commercial acumen.
