As a Kraft Heinz Graduate you will make valuable contributions as a full-time employee from day one; doing real work, delivering real results and having a real impact on our business.
Your journey will start with a functional onboarding, giving you a hands-on induction into each of our different functions. This is followed by a field sales placement to get to know our products and consumers – because at Kraft Heinz, we are consumer obsessed! During the program you will get to work on an individual business project where you will be challenged to apply your problem-solving skills, then experience an agile business placement in a field different to your project. No worries if you don’t have specific expertise in all these topics; you will be attending trainings and get mentored by senior managers throughout each stage of this exciting program. After the 12-month program, Kraft Heinz Trainees will be placed into functions across our company where they can add immediate value.
