PRODUCTION AND SUPPLY DEVELOPMENT PROGRAM

Our Supply organization plays a vital role in the success of our business. As a Graduate in this program, you will be given the opportunity to develop your career path in a way that meets your individual needs. You'll learn about and gain hands-on experience in the various areas of our business, such as procurement, supply planning, logistics and customer service. Or, perhaps you will pursue a career track in production management, operations management, safety, or in the field of agronomy.

This two-year track program is designed for highly motivated individuals with a degree in Supply Chain and Logistics, Chemical Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Science, Agribusiness, Agronomy, and other related disciplines. Participants will experience a well-rounded training program including rotational assignments which enhance learning. Upon successful completion of the program, participants will be prepared to accept leadership positions across the company, but there is no guarantee, and will depend on performance and availability.

DEVELOPMENTAL SALES REP PROGRAM

This program offers the critical knowledge, training and experience to help prepare sales reps for their first position in either our Crop Protection or Seed Divisions. Depending on individual experience and business need, participants will spend between 3-6 months or 6-18 months learning our business and developing the necessary sales skills and technical expertise to be a strong business partner to our customers. Individual assignments will vary.

FINANCE MANAGEMENT PROGRAM

In our Finance Management Program, you'll have the opportunity to pursue a career development path tailored to your needs. Spending three years in a dynamic and challenging working environment, you'll gain unique insights and experience across a number of roles in different sectors of our business. Areas of concentration could include learning first-hand about Decision Support, seeing how a multinational Treasury operates successfully, delving into Mergers & Acquisitions and/or contributing to a Group Reporting Team responsible for analyzing and communicating our financial performance.

GROW IN SYNGENTA - MBA EXECUTIVE LEADERSHIP PROGRAM

Our 'Grow in Syngenta' program is aimed at the highest caliber MBA graduates. We hire graduates with the talent and drive to realize our growth strategy and lead our company into the future. After completing the program, participants typically assume positions as Heads of Marketing or Strategy, or Country Heads in our global business. The 4 - 5 year program is geared towards broad and fast development. During that time, you'll take on a range of challenging positions in a global rotational program, each one lasting between 12 and 18 months. You will be mentored by a Senior Manager throughout the program. One rotation could find you working as a Market Specialist for Seeds in EAME, while the next could take you to APAC as a Functional Controller for Global Supply. You will have three rotations across regions, businesses or functions. Rotations are arranged to ensure you address all the learning targets of the program, giving you skills and experience in leadership, functional abilities and generic competencies such as operational management and business development.

INTERNSHIPS AND CO-OPS

Our premier internship program is designed to give students an exploratory learning experience in their chosen field of study. Internship programs with Syngenta are paid - and some of our interns receive academic credit for their completed internship. Interested students should have a minimum of 3.0 GPA, and be currently enrolled in an accredited school to qualify. If you would like to have an experience that may last through the school year, or perhaps a semester and a summer, then a co-op experience may be just what you are looking for!
