A number of candidates will be interviewed by the hiring manager and an HR representative.
Final candidates will be invited to a competency based interview, conduct a personality questionaire and some ability tests.

The specific base and role that you will fulfill is specified in the job posting you have applied to.
Graduates have the final say regarding what kind of assignments, projects or job rotation they will be involved in. We want our graduates to communicate and share where they see themselves develop ; at the same time we encourage discussions between the graduates and their own manager. Managers are here to support our graduates’ growth in the area of expertise that they would like to develop and they will propose assignments, job rotations or projects that would benefit each graduate.
You will have the common weeks split up in different modules during the year. You will also make an individual plan for the year with your manager that might include studying visits, job rotations/experiences, local and global projects, job shadowing, business travels to other locations and countries.
These are very rich and memorable weeks. You will grow through personal development, networking and teambuilding, business and customer insights, discussions on culture, global awareness and CSR, and sessions on innovation and emerging technologies.
You will be working in global projects with your graduate peers during the year and you will have a chance to meet as a graduate community through networking on site, after-works and dinners. After the graduate program is completed, you will be involved as a graduate ambassador in presentation sessions for the current graduates on your site and also become a graduate buddy.
International opportunities will vary depending on the graduate program you are part of. These opportunities may include international assignments, international projects, as well as international visits. Volvo Group is a global company so you will get the chance to work with many people around the globe.
The amount of travel will vary depending on the graduate program – engineering, IT or operations - and your role. This travel could vary from domestic to international and you might be away from a couple days or a week, up to a few months at a time during the program period.
You will have your appointed manager and a dedicated mentor during or straight after the program. You will also find valuable support from your colleagues, the network of your peer graduates, a former graduate as a buddy and the manager of your graduate program.
Absolutely! Since this is a long term relation you will be hired as an employee from day one.

Every year, many positions open up for our employees to apply to and drive their career forward.
Our educational requirements are specified in each job posting.
