In order to achieve Schibsted’s ambitious goals, we must be innovative, creative and able to adapt to constant changes. Therefore, for our trainee programmes we look for motivated, solution-oriented and adabtable people who are able to take on challenges with ease and who also possess a genuine interest for the media.
2 years – 4 jobs – 8 gatherings
As a trainee you are constantly exposed to new challenges, both through your job assignments and the professional development sessions you will be part of in the programmes’ two-year duration. You will have four job placements, consisting of different roles in different kinds of media companies.
For example, you could be a business developer in an online classifieds business, a journalist in a print newspaper, a sales representative in a magazine, a controller in a media house or a business analyst in a free newspaper. You may work within the areas of strategy, finance and project management, in addition to operational job assignements. There are lots of exciting possibilities!
Mentor and personal follow-up
As a trainee you will be assigned a mentor who will follow you throughout the trainee programme. All mentors are senior excecutives and/or hold key positions in the Schibsted Group. The mentor’s role is to be your guide; someone who will support you and provide advice throughout the trainee period. During each period your immediate superior in the subsidiary you are working at will also serve as your guide. In addition, our trainee management staff is always at your disposal for coaching and talks. They will organize regular follow-up sessions for each trainee together with the trainee’s manager at each placement in question.
