What is the Sandberg Development Graduate Program?

The Sandberg Development Graduate Program is a trainee program for engineers and economists who want to kickstart their careers. Participants take on a project‑based role in one of our companies and get the opportunity to run real projects linked to some of society’s most critical sectors – water, safety, and quality of life. In parallel, they take part in an innovation and leadership program in collaboration with EFL Executive Education.

During the program, you will work with real‑world tasks and challenges that the Sandberg Development Group is facing. You will take on a project where, together with your supervisor, you can actively influence both the project direction and how the work is carried out. In addition to your project work, you will also gain insight into the daily operations of our companies to get a holistic understanding of the business. A mentor will follow and coach you throughout the entire program.
