This is a great programme and it really attracts me mainly because of the rotation part especially when I just came out of college.

I can experience 3 different roles before I make the final decision of which direction I want to go.

The work-life balance in Glanbia is great. You get the chance to work in the office a few days a week and also get a chance to work from home. Outside of Glanbia, I am very active. I play hurling, I also do a lot of cycling and horse riding.
