A few testimonials:
|
Tom Alexander, Marketing Manager EMEA, CaridianBCTAs for many, I learned most of the practical knowledge needed for my position "on the job". Recently, I was appointed manager of a team, but as often only experience, trial and error as well as your gut feeling can help you on the road to being an effective manager. That learning takes a significant amount of time and energy of both yourself and your coach. The Young Management Programme has dramatically shortened my learning curve as a debut manager and has had a direct impact on my everyday job more than any other course. |
|
Sofie Coekaerts, Programme Coordinator, Outward Bound BelgiumThe extremely diverse backgrounds of the Young Management Programme participants ensure that you never get slanted perspectives on particular problems, and you also notice that there are so many areas of overlap. Thanks to everyone's enthusiasm and eagerness to learn within the group, the Young Management Programme also serves as a forum for exchanging experiences about cross-business challenges, both during and after the sessions. |
|
Hannelore Soetens, Senior Area Manager, Accent Jobs for PeopleIt is surprising how well I came to know myself, both as an individual and as a team player within a group. An atmosphere was created in which everyone was continually and openly giving honest feedback to one another. This had a very enriching effect and was food for thought on how to do certain things differently in the future. |
|
Stijn Waerniers, Manager Product Support Engineering, Cisco SPTVGThe Young Management Programme is a highly interactive training scheme that is sometimes very confrontational. Many of the practical exercises will always stay with me. You very often learn a lot about yourself and thus gain better insight into your own abilities, strengths and weaknesses and become more aware. In addition, the knowledge-focused sessions, the integration game and the business plan give you an idea about how the various areas of management interact with one another within an organisational structure. |
|
Sam Van Dyck, Communication Officer, Philips BelgiumThe programme has given me a solid foundation in management, together with practical scenarios and exercises that challenge you to apply what you have learned to actual practice. Drawing up a business plan in your own team gives you an excellent opportunity to really put into practice the knowledge that has been gained |
|
Benjamin Tegenbos, Head of Health Promotion and Family Care, Onafhankelijk ZiekenfondsThe impact of this programme on my professional conduct has been significant. My ‘backpack’ has gained quite a lot of relevant content over the past year, including areas that I was perhaps not aware of originally. So, my challenge for the future is to further supplement the knowledge I have acquired and to bring this to bear in the right way and, in particular, at the right time in my quest towards my ultimate goal −no matter what this may be. |
|
Nicolas De Deken, Sales Engineer, CMCThe YMP has not only given me better insight into my own method of working, knowledge and capacities, but moreover, the programme hasalso taught me to understand the behaviour of colleagues better and how to capitalise on this in a suitable way. The business case, business game and theoretical management courses have provided me with more knowledge about the various branches of management, so that I now have a clearer view on my future interests and ambitions. |
|
Wendy Francken, Directrice, VlarioMost of all, I've become more sure of myself, and in the course of the various modules I've been able to strengthen my personality. The mirror that was held up to me has ensured that I now know what I'm good at and how I can use these positive aspects in my professional environment. The training also gave me a complete picture of the operation of a company, from financial to project and strategic management. |

Björn De Vidts, Programme Manager, AGIVYMP was a unique experience that makes you want more. Professional learning blocks framed with high-quality networking and enjoyable social activities make this training package tailor-made for young managers. |
|
Cédric Claeys, Enterprise Account Manager, APCYMP gave me the chance to pause and reflect in an important phase, both personally and professionally. The programme has contributed to important choices that I need to make for myself – function, company, focus, my abilities. The training provided me with greater insight into the operation of a business in all its facets. |
