The IMST programme is tailored to the abilities and experience of each candidate. However, in general the programme begins with a 2-4month orientation at our International Headquarters in Vevey.
This initial phase aims to give you a clear understanding of the role of the Headquarters, and the way it works with Nestlé local markets. It will also introduce you to the specific product category that will be the basis of your expatriate assignment. During these first few months you'll have the opportunity to network with many people who will be important contacts in your future work.
Once this familiarisation phase is over, you are ready to embark on your expatriate training period abroad. But regardless of where your first assignment takes place, all IMST participants are being trained for a global expatriate career.
Once on assignment, the fast-paced IMST programme really gets under way. The intensive in-market programme is designed to help you to get to know all the various departments that will contribute to your success in Marketing or Sales.
The training abroad, in general, is structured into three phases:
• General Training
• Marketing Training
• Sales Training
IS AN EXPATRIATE CAREER RIGHT FOR YOU?
Our most successful international employees tend to share certain characteristics.
They are extremely flexible and mobile, and thrive in different working conditions. They generally have an open mind. They have an affinity for different cultures, and the effect these varied cultures has on them – both professionally and personally.
Since they move from one country to another every 3-5 years, they are able to adapt quickly and to take on responsibilities anywhere in the world. This is by no means an easy task, and is why our international expatriates tend also to have a great deal of social competence, and certainly a passion for what they do.
They have a strong team spirit, are good at communication, and have well-developed analytical and organizational skills. This is combined with entrepreneurial flair and an original creative mind. If all this sounds like you, and you are looking for a challenging, exciting and rewarding career that can take you round the world, then an international career as a IMST expatriate could be just right for you.
If you are fluent in English and two other major languages, have some practical work experience, then take the first step and apply for our IMST training.
