Camille Toussaint – GGT Marketing.
The initial months as a Global Graduate Trainee (GGT) were very welcoming. I met many people from different departments, gaining a better understanding of the company. Transitioning from school to work, understanding the job, and dealing with admin tasks was easier knowing other GGTs shared the same experience.
