About the traineeship.

This traineeship offers you a unique opportunity to kickstart your career in sustainable business. Each of the trainee positions is distinct, tied to a department within a specific business area and working location. This means that each position has its own tailored responsibilities, challenges and matching profile.  

What you will experience 

• Personal development: Benefit from a year full of growth opportunities, professional meetups, and comprehensive trainings. 
• International exposure: Engage with a diverse, international trainee team both virtually and in person. Participate in job rotations and on-site visits. 
• Collaborative environment: Enjoy a balance of serious work and a fun, supportive atmosphere.

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.”
