“The Executive Transition Program was the decisive step for my career and my life,” said Nontuthuko Mgabhi, General Manager Human Resources at Richards Bay Coal Terminal Co. and scholarship recipient of the Executive Transition Program in 2016/17. “The mixture of a practice-oriented curriculum, a fantastic faculty, and the opportunity to build an unparalleled network of peers and mentors makes the seminar first-class.” Nontuthuko Mgabhi was promoted to general manager after completing the ETP.

To apply, candidates should submit the completed application form, a CV, and a motivation letter by e-mail. The candidates' application documents will be reviewed and evaluated by a jury headed by Claudia Nemat, member of the Deutsche Telekom AG Executive Board, Technology and Innovation.
