Being active in the U.S., Europe and Indonesia, our challenges do not stop at country borders. We strongly believe that our future leaders should develop an international mindset. The International Finance Traineeship and International HR Traineeship are 3-year development programs in which you get the opportunity to get your Finance or HR career at Ahold Delhaize off to a flying start.

To become a seasoned professional, you will have at least four rotations within or between our different Retail brands and countries. You experience retail from the corporate side by having functional skills training and by working on projects related to your track. Engaging in international assignments will prepare you in becoming Ahold Delhaize’s next future leader.

We stimulate cross-functional learning by organizing learning sessions, together with fellow Trainees and other inspiring colleagues. As our trainee Isa puts it: “Studying at University is one thing, but working and learning in practice is really different”. Our ambitious and balanced development program follows 3 pillars which will be guiding through the 3 years of your Traineeship: Social and Business Development, Technical Functional Skills and Leadership Development.
