Jardine Executive Trainee Scheme (JETS) only for those ready for challenges

Pros

1. Global mobility - international exposure, allowed to go anywhere in the world as long as Jardines own a business there, visa will be taken care of, not so much hassle but you need to make sure you can be value-added to the business there 2. Community/sense of belonging - lots of social events within the same year batch or even former and later batches so there's a sense of having a JETS community 3. Opportunity to take responsibility from early on in your career - all you need to do is to voice our your interest and be committed to it, everyone is quite happy to teach you how to do things and take some of their busy time to go through everything with you 4. Quite welcoming working environment 5. Good pay during your 3-year programme!

Cons

1. Challenge, challenge, challenge + expectations from everyone - you're a trainee, so you need to cut some slack off and start doing things right and learn things as fast as possible. Being a trainee especially a JET, you are already selected among many other applicants so people expect you to be an independent fast-learner. We got all the help we need but that does not mean they will spoil us. If you're not committed then it may not be a suitable career path for you
