Management Traineeship at KLM Royal Dutch Airlines

[naos]

There are many different traineeships, but just one KLM Management Traineeship. A traineeship at KLM is not just a glorified stepping-stone to a career, or an especially demanding internship. At KLM, we take you seriously right from the start, which means responsibility, delivering a clear result and developing your personality.

•   The project programme
• The training programme
•   The coaching programme

The KLM Management Traineeship is a two-year programme designed to fast-track you towards a general management position with KLM. It is intended for young "high potentials" who have what it takes to become part of our future (top) management.

The general requirements we set for participation in the traineeship are:
•   A university (WO) Masters
•   Minimal work experience
•   Excellent command of both written and spoken Dutch
•   Managerial and/or organisational experience     

On the KLM Management Traineeship, you will work on developing the competencies that we believe are crucial for successful management, namely:
•   empowering
•   impact
•   interpersonal sensitivity
•   teamwork
•   establishing and maintaining relationships
•   commercial focus
•   problem analysis
•   persuasiveness
•   drive
•   organisational awareness     
During the selection procedure, we pay particular attention to your personality and the management experience you have gained so far. Your area of study is less important. During the assessment, we assess the extent to which these competencies are already present. Subsequently, you will develop these further during the traineeship by means of projects, coaching and training.

Do you think you are cut out for the KLM Management Traineeship? We expect that the first possible start date will be April 1, 2010. On this website we will announce when you can apply.
