Here is what our current participants have to say about the program...
"The FMDP program allows me to learn much more about how the finance and accounting components of Covance work through learning the business from the bottom up by spending
time on the ground in each of the major pieces of the company. My background is strong in the sciences and I have a love for finance so this program helps me align both of my
interests. I chose Covance because I believe the market has a great need for the services we provide and I want to help spearhead the growth of this company both at home
and abroad."

"I wanted to be a part of the FMDP program at Covance for the chance to travel and explore different areas of finance. The rotational aspect of the program allows you to meet so
many different people in the company and allows you to network and build relationships that you wouldn't otherwise have the chance to do. It makes such a large company seem small.
The positions are highly visible within the company and give the opportunity for a fast track onto management. That and the experiences I'd get while rotating through
different areas of the company were items I knew I could only get in this type of program."
