Many students are still uncertain what they want to be ‘when they grow up’. Let alone in which sector they want to work. Are you a student? And are you up to the challenge of becoming CEO of a large company in the innovative and dynamic Food & Flower industry for a day? Great! Keep scrolling!
Every November we organise CEO for 1 Day. Curious about the second largest industry in the Netherlands? About the work being done every day to make a greener and healthier world, where everyone has access to fresh food? Then spend a day in the chair of one of the CEOs and give them your (un)solicited advice.
"It was such a great experience to get a behind-the-scenes look at Keukenhof for a day. I never expected it to be this educational and enjoyable. After this day, I’m definitely considering a career switch to the private sector. So even if you think ‘food and flower industry... that’s not for me’ — just sign up anyway!"
- Adam Emara, participant CEO for 1 Day 2024
