About the traineeship.   

This traineeship offers you a unique opportunity to kickstart your career in sustainable business.

As Joakim, our International Trainee in Stockholm, states, “I expected beforehand that working at a corporate would mean only serious business. We do focus on learning and growth and bringing new perspectives to the company, but we also have fun and add humor and lightness. I feel like we are the change the company wants to see.”
