WFP Business Course May 8-13 2011, Rome
BCG organizes a business course with the World Food Programme. You can participate! During the Business Course in Rome, you get the opportunity to contribute to the World Food Programme's aim: ‘fighting the global war of hunger’. The WFP is part of the United Nations and is the largest humanitarian organization in the world. In 2003, the WFP fed nearly 110 million people in 82 countries. But WFP's work is by no means finished. More than 850 million people in the world do not get enough food to lead healthy, active live, 300 million of which are children.
During de Business Course you work 5 days with 25 other motivated top students for the WFP. You work on fund-raising, distribution strategies and alternative financing. You are coached by experienced strategists of the World Food Programme.
Selection
Only 25 students can participate in the business course. Because of the unique opportunity, we expect a lot of applications. We can only invite the most motivated top students with us to Rome. After an initial selection based on the applications, we invite candidates for selection interviews at the end of March and beginning of April. Based on these interviews we determine the final selection.
Program
On a Sunday afternoon you fly to Rome. After an introduction to BCG and the other students on Sunday, the World Food Programme welcomes you in their head office on Monday morning. After four intensive days, you present your findings to the WFP on Thursday. On Friday you fly back to Amsterdam after a wonderful experience.
