Unilever Management Trainee Programme
Designed to turn talented graduates into managers, our programme will allow you to experience more in two to three years than you ever thought possible.
Tried & tested
Our track record for providing people with dynamic careers is a testimony to our growth. A majority of our senior management team began their journeys as Management Trainees, many of whom have made their mark globally. It is therefore, not surprising that the Unilever Management Trainee programme is considered to be one of the best in the local market.
The programme
Our Management Trainees will choose to specialize in 1 of 6 career functions (Marketing, Sales (Customer Development), Finance, Supply Chain (Manufacturing), Human Resources IT and Tea). The programme duration is 24 months which will include your induction to the company.
Focused on building leadership capability and accelerating your development, the programme involves a number of job rotations which will help you understand the business as a whole while gaining valuable experience. You will also be involved in a large scale CSR project.
A real job from day one
Depending on the function you have chosen you will be working on real business challenges linked to business goals from day one. You will have specific personal deliverables and work with members of your team to jointly deliver the output for your function and the company.
With initiative and enthusiasm you can make things happen and see the impact of your actions within the business.
We’ll help you, help yourself
We’ll support you every step of the way, but much of your progress will be up to you. As well as learning on the job, you’ll have access to many structured courses and have the advantage of being mentored and coached by some of the best in the business.
You’ll need to be focused and ambitious to get where you want, identifying opportunities and taking responsibility for your own development.
