An excellent program for commodity professionals looking to broaden their industry knowledge, as well as for those aspiring to enter the sector. The sessions are highly interactive, with lecturers adapting the depth and complexity of the material to participants from diverse professional backgrounds. The program also offers networking opportunities through social events and includes a commodity-related site visit or activity. For me, one of its greatest advantages is its perfect compatibility with a demanding full-time role.
