Vattenfall International Trainee Programme

The Vattenfall International Trainee Programme (VITP) is more than just a job—it's a kickstart for young talents who want to make a real impact on the energy transition. As a trainee, you’ll join a diverse group of ambitious talents from across Europe. The programme runs for 12 months, starting each September, and offers a blend of learning, collaboration, and real-world experience.

You’ll be hired into a specific role and location, but your experience will be truly international.

You’ll take part in four international Trainee Weeks filled with inspiring workshops, study visits, a hackathon, networking opportunities and you’ll complete two assignments - with at least one abroad - giving you the chance to broaden your perspective. Throughout the programme, you’ll benefit from continuous personal development coaching to support both your professional and personal growth.

Applications open again in January.
