At Volvo Aero you will be given the chance to work at the forefront of the aerospace industry. In addition you will be given the possibility to develop within a company that is large enough to enable us to collaborate with many of the leading companies in the industry, but small enough for your role in the company to be significant.
As a candidate you should be interested in working with product and production development, purchasing, logistics or quality and have the desire to take on a possible role as a leader in the future.

Programme Set Up
The duration of the programme is 15 months, and during the first 11 months graduates are located at the Volvo Aero headquarters in Trollhättan. The 4 last months are spent working abroad at one of our contractors, customers or associates.
During the first 11 months graduates work in 4-6 different departments within the company, normally in periods of 8 weeks at a time. Meanwhile time is set aside for education, field trips and projects within the graduate group. The programme requires all graduates to take a driving and active part in the planning and execution of all activities, allowing each graduate to in a great extent shape their own programme agenda.
The next program is planned to start in September 2011.More information about the program and the recruitment process will be published at this page during spring 2011.
