Handheld´s International Management Trainee Program in cooperation with ITM Worldwide Foundation attracted 131 applicants from Sweden and abroad.
The programme is designed to combine both theoretical and practical training and placement in one of Handhelds international offices for hands on international experience. The trainees will not only be on track for an international career path, but they will work for a company which recognises the importance of personal growth and development.
"Strategically this is an important step for us to ensure future strong growth. We want to create a best in class programme, thus the co-operation with ITM, which is a recognised quality supplier of education and training of professionals. Furthermore, we are extra pleased that Handheld is able to launch this programme during the current global economic situation", says Jerker Hellström, CEO of the Handheld Group.
"This has proven to be an unigue concept to help fast growing SMEs in smaller cities to attract talants from Universities ", says Hasse Karlsson from ITM Worldwide Foundation. "We add value to the company´s own program but also help in the recruitment process".
The ITM Worldwide Foundation is accredited by IATTO (International Association of Trade Training Organisations), which means that in addition to graduating from Handheld´s International Management Trainee programme the trainee will also receive a Diploma in International Trade Management from ITM Trade AcademyTM.
