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.
“Thanks to my participation in CEO for 1 Day I have expanded my own network and also learnt a lot about how the organisation within a company works, something you cannot learn in school in theory but can only through first-hand experience.”
