How do you experience the rotations during the European Graduate Program?
During my two rotations as part of the ECP program, I had the opportunity to work in four different roles: business development for the Pharma team, marketing and communication for the premium labels segment, M_use, as well as product management for the films team and marketing for the Labels and Packaging Materials Direct Thermal Linerless project.
Joining four distinct teams and segments over the span of two years can, of course, present a challenge: this requires quickly adapting and getting up to speed. However, the positive side is that this brings a unique learning opportunity and keeps things exciting, there is never a dull moment!
How have you grown in your career at Avery Dennison?
The ability to explore positions and understand various segments and industries was a key value of the ECP program, allowing me to have a broader overview of the labelling business and giving me a clear understanding of what I wanted to do for the next steps in my career. This has prepared me to confidently transition into my current role as Product Manager for the Pharma team.
What advice can you offer to others?
Keep exploring! The Early Career Program is a great platform to do so, but there are many other opportunities to continue exploring during your career, stay curious and don’t be afraid to try something new.
