Trelleborg’s Graduate Program is one of the most effective to be developed amongst international manufacturers and consists of five modules, each one-week, spread over 15 months. Coming under the umbrella of the Trelleborg Group University training program, the course is designed for graduates starting directly from university or during their first job after completing a degree.

The aim is to provide the skills required to enable employees to become the future managers of Trelleborg and for them to understand early in their careers the core values that the company stands for – customer focus, performance, innovation and responsibility. The course also gives an insight on leadership skills, in alignment with Trelleborg’s leadership profiles, clearly differentiating those needed to be a manager.

Each of the five modules is held in a different country. Bringing together employees from around the world enables them to experience different cultures and attitudes, while also gaining a greater understanding of the various divisions and businesses within the group. Trelleborg employs around 22,000 people in more than 49 countries and operates in fields as diverse as offshore construction to coating and sealing technologies, in which it is a world leader.
