The aim of the trainee programme is to contribute to ensuring the recruitment of competent young academics within the Södra Group and prepare for the selection of future leaders. The programme objectives are to give the trainee good knowledge of the various branches of the Group, an understanding of a variety of conditions and cultural differences as well as offering personal development. 

You obtain permanent employment from the very beginning and will be formally stationed at one of our work places. During the year you will gain all-round in-service training in different work places within the Group. This training is interwoven with leadership, communication, economics and market education.

After this you participate every five weeks throughout the training period in a consecutive personal development programme. It comprises self-knowledge, cooperation, communication and leadership development as well as brief courses in certain areas like laws and contracts, economics and the market.
