OBJECTIVE & STRUCTURE

Our Graduate Program is designed to launch, support, and accelerate your professional career. The goal is to help you develop a broad understanding of the company and its various activities, while providing opportunities to build a cross-functional network.

The LDC Graduate Program consists of three phases:

Phase 1 – Development of Business Experience & Skills

Graduate Trainee for 12 to 18 months

During this period, you will work across key business areas in an initial stage designed to give you a comprehensive view of our processes and operations. This experience will be fundamental so that, in the final months of the program, you can begin working directly with the trading desks—applying what you have learned and deepening your understanding of the commercial dynamics of the business.

Phase 2 – Transition to a Permanent Role

At the end of this phase, if performance is strong and there is a business need, the participant will be confirmed into a permanent role in our Buenos Aires office.

As a global company, we offer the opportunity to work with people from diverse cultures and backgrounds in a highly motivating environment.

Phase 3 – Ongoing Support & Development

As part of the program, you will continue to receive differentiated development initiatives—both soft skills and technical training—that will help you strengthen your capabilities. This will position you to continue growing within the company even after completing your assignment.
