Good opportunities for permanent employment
As a trainee at Danish Crown, you get a broad education with thorough and broad practical experience. You will have the opportunity to try out different relevant functions within your field, and you can expect an exciting everyday life in a dynamic environment surrounded by skilled colleagues with a strong team spirit. After your traineeship, there are good opportunities for permanent employment - also abroad. These opportunities can vary from country to country.
We advertise here when we are looking for new trainees. We typically do this at the beginning of every year.
Mathias started his career at Danish Crown as a sales trainee in Denmark, where he gained extensive experience he could use in his further career. Today, Mathias works as a Sales Assistant at our sales office in Chiasso, Switzerland.
- From the beginning, my dream was to go abroad, so when my two-year trainee position was coming to an end, I went to my manager and told him I wanted my next step to be somewhere abroad - anywhere in the world
Mathias was met with a steep learning curve, but also lots of support.
- It was a huge change. I had to learn a new language from scratch and a totally different culture. Luckily my colleagues helped me by speaking English in the beginning. The colleagues back home have also been very good at checking in on me and making sure I was ok.
Speed and quality are two things that don’t always go hand in hand, but in Mathias’ case they make up a motivating work duo.
- What motivates me is the speed of things. Quick transactions and processes. I’ve also grown up in the food industry, so I care deeply about quality. There’s a lot of responsibility involved too. Lots that can go wrong if you don’t pay attention.
Since Mathias graduated in the autumn of 2014 at our head office in Randers, Denmark, a lot have happened. He did a two-year stay in New Jersey in the United States which led to France, where he now works at our office in Orléans south of Paris.
