These aspects are supported by the networking-system that encompasses different divisions and is set to help the participants’ improvement.

They are the employees, experts and leaders of the future. The programme was adjusted to the demands of the market and was founded by the MOL Human Resources division.

Furthermore, additional improvements were made and are still continued to be adjusted. The cooperation of some various fields is critical (Human Resources, Communications, Business Leaders).
