We offer two kinds of Trainee Programs: "Business Trainee" programs and "Functional Trainee" Programs. Both programs will last for 18-24 months and in both programs you will get the full package of development opportunities mentioned above. The difference is that the "Business Trainees" will rotate between functions, whereas the functional Trainees will rotate "within" a function. So for example a Business Trainee will rotate between Sales, Retail and Marketing during the program, and a Functional Trainee in Operations would for example rotate between Supply Chain, Logistics, Project Office and Customer Service. In any case we try to provide all trainees a very broad overview of the company, so a Functional Trainee will also get an understanding of the processes and operations in the other departments.
You can apply for a maximum of two positions, so please choose carefully in which programs you are interested in most! The application deadline is Nov. 14th .
Business Trainee Program
No department is isolated from the rest of the group. For the whole company to be successful, all departments have to work together very closely to achieve the common goals. When you work together with colleagues from different functions it will be very beneficial to you to have an understanding of the roles that your colleagues play in the company and to know what their responsibilities and challenges are. Therefore we want to give you the opportunity in our Business Trainee Program to work in different departments and develop a sense for our whole business cycle.
