UNIQUE LEARNING ENVIRONMENT
A key element of the program is the extensive use of syndicate groups involving participants from different companies and different parts of the industry in assessing the implications of materials presented, group assignments, workshops, case studies and issues of current concern. During the week delegates are rotated through different syndicates to facilitate networking opportunities and increase exposure to the experiences, ideas and opinions of others in the produce business.
