"What I liked most about the FTL Programme: It offers the chance to experience operations in two different departments, which really allows you to understand the core of our business in any future role you take.
On top of that, there is a great mentorship program in place where you can partner with someone from ManCom, who can guide you through your first steps and challenges here at ABI."
