“During my Traineeship I collaborated with the finance team of Nigeria to calculate the feasibility of setting up a cow breeding centre in West Africa. It is fantastic that FrieslandCampina strives for better nutrition for the world. I am proud to contribute to projects that achieve a better world.”

FrieslandCampina has a long history and exists in a cooperative tradition. A cooperative cannot thrive with a focus on the short term. That is why we are future focused. We do that for our consumers, our customers, our farmers. And for the world. Everything we do at FrieslandCampina is guided by our purpose: nourishing by nature.

With our purpose we strive for:

- Better nutrition for the world
- A good living for our farmers
- Now and for generations to come

FrieslandCampina’s Corporate Traineeship is a two-year traineeship, starting every March and September, in which you will complete two assignments in the discipline for which you have been recruited. During this assignment, you will fill an existing position and will therefore be fully responsible for the activities associated with it and corresponding targets. We believe this is the way to learn the most. Obviously you will also be offered supervision and advice.

During your traineeship, we will offer you a full range of development opportunities. You will have an interdisciplinary trainee group with which you will regularly take part in both professional and social activities. Besides several trainings with your trainee group, you will be offered a personal development program in which you will have a mentor and a personal training budget. If you use your creativity and enterprise spirit and deliver a convincing performance, you will have two wonderful years getting more out of both milk and yourself!

Our traineeships open twice a year, in March and September. Check our website for our application deadlines. The selection process for the FrieslandCampina Corporate Traineeship consists of four different components. It’s considered a tough yet valuable experience by candidates.

1. CV check
2. Motivation video pitch
3. E-assessment
4. Selection day

“The people I spoke with of FrieslandCampina during the selection process were all very passionate about the company and really motivated to bring the company to a higher level”

“My first impressions of FrieslandCampina were openness, down-to-earth and connection. Not only connected with each other, but also with their farmers.”

“The selection process of FrieslandCampina works in two ways, they do not only assess you as a candidate, but you are also able to assess them as a company”

“ During the selection process it is not only about the assessment itself, but they trigger you to connect with the other trainees and candidates”
