Trainee Program at Nordzucker
Discover diverse perspectives as a trainee
If you’re looking for the ideal entry into an international company after university, our trainee program is exactly the right springboard. You’ll get to know different areas, work at different locations and take on responsibility in projects. The program runs for two years, and roughly every three months you’ll get to know a new department within our Operations, Engineering & Technology or Agri divisions. During the campaign, you’ll be deployed at one of our plants and experience live how sugar is extracted from sugar beet there between September and January.

Throughout the company, you’ll make contacts, learn from experienced colleagues and build your own network. We are convinced that the best experiences happen where people work together and learn from one another. That’s why we encourage exchange across teams and locations, support you along the way and create an environment in which we can grow together.
