What is a Traineeship Operational Management?

Arvato acknowledges that one size, doesn’t fit all. Therefore, you will start your traineeship based on a Personal Development Plan. This custom sized plan is based upon your expertise and ambitions. Together, we will determine which path is the best match to reach your goals. We strongly believe that by 'being on it' you will find out where your strength and passion lies! The traineeship at Arvato lasts a period of approximately 18 months.

During your traineeship, you will receive valuable soft skill trainings from a senior trainer. You will strengthen your personal leadership skils, improve your professional communication skills and gain the best stakeholder management techniques. We organize intervision sessions for our Management Trainees to reflect upon your experiences and learning curves. Hard-skill trainings are organized on topics such as Lean, SAP and Finance.
