What does career progression look like for MDS alumni?


The career paths of our 500+ alumni are wide and varied. Initially, many MDS trainees go into middle management positions and they tend to progress rapidly after this thanks to the broad experiences and training they have received whilst on MDS. Examples of roles taken on by trainees immediately after MDS include:

  • Category Technologist
  • Logistics Manager
  • Account Executive
  • Assistant Farm Manager
  • Trainee Agronomist

After several further years of experience, MDS trainees can be found at the most senior levels of organisations, including retailers, growers, suppliers market researchers and software providers.
