The EMEA Graduate Rotation Program is a new and exciting 12 month program which welcomes ambitious graduates who would like to begin their career journey within sales and solution engineering.

It is a rotational program designed to give graduates exposure to both sales development and solution engineering. Having built the foundational skills and passed all required eligibility and readiness criteria, our graduates can then go on to pursue one of these two clear career paths. Our Top Graduates can potentially promote to the career path of their choice, (depending on business demand) by month 7 of the program.

Our graduate program is a fully immersive program combining comprehensive learning paths, in-role experience, customer interaction and mentorship from senior sales and solution engineering professionals.
