You will engage in experimental design, data collection, analysis and integration, working with advanced tools and methodologies specific to the consumer goods industry. Collaborating with experienced scientists, you will have the opportunity to contribute to ongoing projects while receiving mentorship to refine your problem-solving techniques, enhancing your laboratory expertise.
This year will give you the chance to experience the working environment in a leading international company and gain guidance on your professional development to assess if it’s right for you.
What You Will Gain:
* Responsibilities and Real Work from Day 1: You will be given specific projects and responsibilities working on real and live business challenges, just like a true P&Ger.
