We offer 4 different professional development programmes:

Graduate Training Programme

National Foods Ltd has built a Graduate Training Programme, where graduates put their newly acquired knowledge into practice. Upon going through a highly competitive selection process, successful graduates join the company for 18 months through this programme. Candidates have the opportunity to work with a range of highly-skilled teams, with their rotational assignments underpinned by a mentorship programme to support them throughout their development period.

Internships

The company provides college learners with internships to give them hands-on experience in their respective fields of study. Students also get the fantastic opportunity to apply for the Graduate Training Programme upon completion of their studies.

Apprenticeships

For those pursuing technical development, National Foods Ltd is accredited by the Ministry of Higher and Tertiary Education to facilitate student learning through our apprenticeship programme. Students are enrolled and taken through supervised learning exposures throughout their programme, facilitating the growth and development of their professional and technical skills.
