About the trainee programme

 

 

Exciting challenges for 15 months

As a Graduate Trainee in our 15-month programme, a fantastic start to your career awaits. You will be part of one of our divisions/companies within the Lantmännen Group and this will be your home during the program, depending on the chosen track. After the program, you will continue your career in your home division and continue to make a real difference.

4 assignments in different areas

You will explore four different areas – two within your home division and two within other divisions or companies within the Group – giving you a broad experience and different skills. You can expect varying projects/rotations, and our goal is for at least one of the rotations to have an international focus or be abroad.  

Training to reach new heights

Training courses are held in parallel with the rotations to strengthen your skills and create a good platform and tools in areas such as leadership, change and personal development. Between rotations, you will meet the other trainees and make study visits to further explore our business, share your experiences and insights, reflect and recharge.

Strategic Group Assignment

These strategic projects are carried out in groups, focus on key areas in Lantmännen's future development and are often initiated by Group Management. During the programme, you will also build a unique network of brilliant colleagues and make a real difference, both for our Group, for society and for people's everyday lives.

Graduate Trainee 2022 - 2023

Meeting colleagues on site, listening to them talk about their work and understanding the value that each part contributes to a company like Lantmännen, which has operations throughout the value chain – that's the best thing about the trainee programme.

Graduate Trainee 2020 - 2021

During the trainee program, I have met many fantastic leaders and had the opportunity to both see them "in action" and hear them discuss and reason about their leadership. It has made me realize what I appreciate in good leadership.

Graduate Trainee 2018 - 2019

As a Graduate Trainee, I got to do several interesting things – from working with organic grains and internal pricing to building experience in marketing at Unibake in Belgium and also learning more about Public & Regulatory Affairs.

Graduate Trainee 2016 - 2017

As a former trainee, I was inspired to try exciting roles within Lantmännen's grain chain, both in Sweden, internationally and in B2B and B2C. I have now taken on a role that challenges me outside my comfort zone, but with the trust of the managers and supportive colleagues who say: "You can do this!"
