Program steps

1. Field assignment – 12 months
   Gain immediate, hands-on responsibility in one of Cargill's operating businesses — the first step for most MBAs.
2. Business analyst – 15-24 months
   Consult, advise, evaluate, negotiate and explore while teaming with senior Cargill executives on a variety of strategy, mergers and acquisitions (M&A)  and new business projects — another possible starting point, depending on your experience and interests.
3. Project team leadership – 12-18 months
   (May move directly to step 4) Lead and coach high-performance project teams, hone advanced strategy and general management skills, while developing a worldwide network of personal and professional contacts — a unique opportunity for analysts with the track record and interest.
   
4. Frontline leadership
   Your chance to join the leadership team and build one of Cargill's many businesses — or start a new one — anywhere in the world. Where you go depends on your interest and the kind of leader you want to be.
   
   What will you do there? That depends on you: Your experience, your skills, and your track record. It all depends on you!
