After the programme you will have gained information, tools and connections within Vattenfall which will be at great help later on in your career.

The assignments, with all accommodation and travel paid for, are an opportunity to broaden your experience and take a deep-dive into an area that interests you.

The knowledge gained during the programme and the extensive network developed throughout the company means you’ll be ideally placed to know where your talents and interests could take you.
