Case Studies

Name: Kelly H, Wilmington, US
Role: Operations and IS Global Graduate Associate

"I think the first day of our induction week really demonstrated the commitment and expectations that AstraZeneca has for this program. In the conference room the 15 of us new graduates, originating from 6 different countries, were joined by the CEO, CPO and COO who welcomed us and explained their expectations for our development, exposure and leadership skills over the next 3 years. What a remarkable way to show how a global company is truly invested in fostering the leaders of the future. I don’t think any of us will forget their encouraging remarks, not to mention that they took time out of their day to speak with us. It speaks volumes about AstraZeneca’s investment in this program."
