Here you get the opportunity to

Share experiences with other interns
Learning about your role in the company
Strengthen your well-being and professional development
to get inspiration for a future in Royal Arctic Line

We do this to create community and motivation – and for you as an intern to thrive.

Jeg har lært at tage ansvar og finde løsninger selv
– også når det var svært.
Det overraskede mig positivt, hvor meget tillid og støtte man får.
Jeg har fået indsigt i hele rederiets drift og arbejdet tæt med både
kollegaer og kunder – i Grønland og internationalt.
Det har virkelig gjort mig klar til arbejdsmarkedet

Hans Peter Kronholm Shipping Trainee

Royal Arctic Line har været en fantastisk mulighed
Jeg har lært meget om vedligeholdelse og synes, at reparationer er mest spændende – især når noget ikke virker hydraulisk eller elektrisk.
Jeg blev positivt overrasket over, hvor godt jeg er blevet hjulpet igennem uddannelsen. Det har gjort mig mere klar til arbejdsmarkedet – både fagligt og personligt. Man bliver taget seriøst – også som elev
