Developing the next generation of leaders is vital for our continuous growth. Since its inception in 1997, Nefab's Global Trainee Program has given recent graduates the possibility to build and accelerate their careers in a truly international environment.

Nefab’s Global Trainee Program was started in 1997 to develop the next generation of leaders and ensure continuous growth. Since its inception, the 10-month program has given recent graduates the possibility to build and accelerate their careers in a truly international and purpose-driven environment.

We offer people with the right skills and attitude an excellent opportunity to build a world-wide network, gain extensive knowledge about our logistics and packaging solutions and develop leadership skills during the 10-month program. The next program starts on August 19th, 2024.

Our Global Trainee program is designed to give your career within the Nefab Group a kick-start and enable you to quickly contribute to our goals and success. During the 10-month program, you will get a thorough introduction to the Nefab Group through a mix of theory and practice.

As a Global Trainee at Nefab, you will be involved in challenging projects, work close to our top management and gain knowledge about Nefab’s logistics and packaging solutions and contribute to our mission of saving financial and environmental resources in supply chains. As part of the program, you will also conduct a 2-3-month international assignment at one of Nefab’s key locations.

Throughout the program, you will be supported by one of our experienced mentors, your direct manager and of course, a network of other trainees from around the world.

After the program, participants will be offered a qualified position within the Nefab Group. Trainees have typically moved on to serve in key positions and roles within the company, such as Key Account Management, Business Development, Sourcing, Quality, IT, and other management functions.

Nefab’s Global Trainee Program is certified by the Swedish organization TraineeGuiden.se. We offer market-based compensation and full-time employment to all trainees, regardless of location or function. Our trainees are employed from day 1 in the country they applied to.
