Volvo Car Group - Graduate Programme 2014 - The future is you
Everything we do at Volvo Car Group starts with people. It’s what makes us different from other car
companies and it’s at the heart of everything we create. That’s why all cars from Volvo are DESIGNED

graduates with potential to be future leaders. If you’ve got passion and drive, you can join a careerboosting programme designed around your potential as a future leader in a global organisation.
For 18–24 months you’ll be fast tracked through the heart of our business with coaching and support
along the way. We’ll design the programme around your talents and ambitions. The programme
includes individual career development, a personal senior mentor, corporate training modules with

depending on your aims and capabilities.
