Testimonials

Listen to what our alumni and current candidates have to say about FRP
“Aside from the technical, functional and organizational learnings, the ability to quickly get up to speed and establish relationships is to me the most valuable component of the program. Further, given that the program facilitates cross-functional, cross-divisional, and cross-border mobility, you become comfortable with uncertainty and learning about things that are outside your area of expertise. This has benefited me directly by allowing me to successfully step into my current role as Finance Manager in Saudi Arabia.”
